In the early days of Swift, working with JSON was clunky and inelegant. Most developers relied on third party libraries that simplified this tedious task. The Swift team was aware of this gap in the Swift standard library and, after focusing on the foundation of the language first, they introduced the Codable protocol in Swift 4. The Codable protocol is a powerful solution that makes working with JSON quick, easy, and intuitive.
