How to parse Nested JSON Array into Codable struct

Question

I want to parse the JSON nested array into my decodable struct but the issue is there is no Key values how can i set into my decodable struct. I am also using SwiftJSON to parse object in my project...

Here is my Decodable struct:

struct PlayerData: Decodable {
    let playerID: Int?
    let platIDRef: Int?
    let EnrolledDateTime: String?
    let PlayerType: String?
    let LastCheckIn: Double?
    let SerialNo: Int?
    let Offered: Double?
    let PlayerReferralCode: Int?
    let PlayerStats: Double?
    let PlayerUpstream: Int?

}

here is the server response JSON object in console:

you check the below json response at JSON VIEWER

First of all there are no strings in the JSON. You have to write a custom initializer, get the unkeyedContainer() and decode the array items one by one — vadian

To decode an array you need to get the unkeyedContainer() and decode each value separately

let jsonString = """

The JSON can be decoded as [PlayerData].self

let data = Data(jsonString.utf8)
do {
    let result = try JSONDecoder().decode([PlayerData].self, from: data)
    print(result)
} catch { print(error) }

I tried but getting nil here is my code let decoder = JSONDecoder() let myPlayerData = try? decoder.decode([PlayerData].self, from: data) print(marketData)

vadian Over a year ago

I tested the code with the given JSON in the question. Don't try? add a do - catch block and get the error
