Data instead of JSON - anyone wanna work on this with me?

[lk251]

Is this because Decodable wasn't available before?
I'd like swifter to produce a Data instance which I can use JSONDecoder with. Anyone wanna collaborate on this?

not sure how to decode this JSON so I'm having to stringify with json.description first which seems like a terrible idea

[lk251]

as a result, \t is appearing as tab control character, breaking JSONDecoder decoding

@meteochu @mattdonnelly hi guys! i'm super grateful for your work, if you have a minute, I would appreciate some guidance: Why is decoding done with a bespoke JSON type, when using JSONDecoder with Swift Data type is so easy and convenient?
Am I missing something? Perhaps the reason I don't see the advantage is because I didn't build the library.
But right now it seems awkward to decode the by applying a set of string keys.

I need this as well and replaced the json with data in my fork.

@steipete any chance you can share your fork?

This is like a 10 minute edit. My fork contains far more changes done specifically for my purpose, makes no sense to open source.
