Athena

MIT License Package Releases Build Statis Swift Version Supported Platforms

Athena is a library that provides type-safe APIs for working with JSON objects in Swift. It provides an idiomatic solution that is both faster and easier to use than Foundation’s JSONSerialization API. It takes advantage of modern Swift language features, and provides APIs for easily creating, mutating, serializing, and deserializing JSON values. It also provides a system to easily encode other Swift types into a JSON representation and decode those same types from correctly shaped JSON values.

Athena is based on Freddy, an early library for working with JSON in Swift that is no longer maintained by its original authors. The library itself has no non-Apple dependencies, but the package does use the SwiftFormat and DocC Swift Package Manager plugins.

Installation

Athena currently distributed exclusively through the Swift Package Manager.
