Simplify JSON parsing in Swift using Codable

The text explores the process of simplifying JSON parsing in Swift using the Codable protocol, which is a typealias for the Decodable and Encodable protocols, allowing for easy conversion between JSON and Swift data types. It begins by explaining the basics of JSON and its common structures, then delves into Swift protocols and classes like JSONDecoder and JSONEncoder for decoding and encoding data. The document provides practical examples ranging from simple to complex JSON structures, including nested JSON, arrays, and dynamic objects, alongside handling optional values and custom keys. It discusses how to use Swift's Codable protocol to parse JSON data efficiently in iOS applications, with examples from Apple Music API endpoints, illustrating how to handle various JSON scenarios and complexities, ultimately aiming to equip developers with the skills to manage JSON data effectively in their apps.
