Question 1

What is the Codable protocol in Swift?

Accepted Answer

Codable is a typealias combining Encodable and Decodable. It enables serialization and deserialization of Swift structures to/from JSON or other formats. It's the standard mechanism for handling JSON in iOS without external frameworks.

Question 2

What is the difference between Encodable and Decodable?

Accepted Answer

Encodable serializes a Swift instance into JSON data (object to JSON). Decodable performs the reverse operation, converting JSON into a Swift instance. These protocols are orthogonal: a struct can implement one, the other, or both as needed.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the CodingKeys enum during JSON decoding?

Accepted Answer

CodingKeys maps Swift properties to actual JSON keys. It handles naming mismatches between Swift code (camelCase) and JSON (snake_case). Without CodingKeys, property names must exactly match JSON keys.
