Gloss is a JSON parsing library for Swift that was popular from 2015 to 2021. It is now deprecated in favor of Swift's built-in Codable framework and only receives updates to support migration.

Use cases

  • parse json in swift
  • decode json models in ios app
  • migrate gloss models to codable
  • serialize swift structs to json
  • maintain legacy swift json parsing code

When to choose

  • you are maintaining an existing codebase that already uses Gloss
  • you need migration helpers to move Gloss models to Codable

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new Swift project - use Codable instead
  • you need an actively maintained JSON library
  • you need JSON parsing on non-Apple platforms
