Loading JSON Data in Swift UI
March 6, 2024
SwiftUI, Apple’s innovative UI toolkit, has transformed the way developers create user interfaces for iOS, macOS, and beyond. One of the fundamental tasks in app development is handling data, and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a widely-used format for data interchange. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the essentials of loading JSON data in SwiftUI. We’ll start by exploring how to load JSON data directly as a String—useful for quick tests or when dealing with small data payloads. Then, we’ll advance to loading JSON from a file, which is a common scenario for apps that consume complex data structures or large datasets.
