Unbox is a lightweight Swift library for decoding JSON into model objects with minimal boilerplate. It is now deprecated in favor of Swift's built-in Codable API and the Codextended project.
Use cases
- decode into swift model objects
- parse api responses in an ios app
- map dictionaries to swift structs
- handle optional and required fields when decoding
- convert data to typed swift values
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Swift codebase that already uses Unbox
- working on an old project targeting Swift versions without full Codable support
When to avoid
- starting a new Swift project - use Codable instead
- you need a maintained library with ongoing support
- you want encoding as well as decoding
