Argo is a functional JSON parsing library for Swift that extracts type-safe models from JSON with explicit failure states. It was inspired by the Haskell Aeson library and uses Swift's type system to eliminate manual validation code.
Use cases
- parse json into swift models
- type-safe json decoding in ios app
- avoid writing manual json validation code
- functional json parsing library for swift
- map api responses to model objects
- handle missing or mistyped json fields gracefully
When to choose
- you want concise, type-safe JSON-to-model decoding in Swift
- you prefer a functional programming style with explicit failure states
- you're on an older Swift codebase already using Argo or Runes
When to avoid
- you're starting a new project - Swift's built-in Codable covers most needs
- you need a library actively updated for the latest Swift versions
- you want JSON decoding without functional programming dependencies like Runes or Curry
