Enumeration XMLDecoder.​Key​Decoding​Strategy 

public enum KeyDecodingStrategy

The strategy to use for automatically changing the box of keys before decoding.

Member Of

XMLDecoder

XMLDecoder facilitates the decoding of XML into semantic Decodable types.

Enumeration Cases

use​Default​Keys 

case useDefaultKeys

Use the keys specified by each type. This is the default strategy.

convert​From​Snake​Case 

case convertFromSnakeCase

Convert from "snake_case_keys" to "camelCaseKeys" before attempting to match a key with the one specified by each type.

The conversion to upper case uses Locale.system, also known as the ICU "root" locale. This means the result is consistent regardless of the current user's locale and language preferences.

Converting from snake case to camel case:

  1. Capitalizes the word starting after each _
  2. Removes all _
  3. Preserves starting and ending _ (as these are often used to indicate private variables or other metadata). For example, one_two_three becomes oneTwoThree. _one_two_three_ becomes _oneTwoThree_.

convert​From​Kebab​Case 

case convertFromKebabCase

Convert from "kebab-case" to "kebabCase" before attempting to match a key with the one specified by each type.

convert​From​Capitalized 

case convertFromCapitalized

Convert from "CodingKey" to "codingKey"

convert​From​Uppercase 

case convertFromUppercase

Convert from "CODING_KEY" to "codingKey"

custom 

case custom((_ codingPath: [CodingKey]) -> CodingKey)

Provide a custom conversion from the key in the encoded XML to the keys specified by the decoded types. The full path to the current decoding position is provided for context (in case you need to locate this key within the payload). The returned key is used in place of the last component in the coding path before decoding. If the result of the conversion is a duplicate key, then only one box will be present in the container for the type to decode from.
