I broke my original JSON file up into two different JSON files, but now I can't decode the second one. I've run it through multiple validators and it seems to be valid JSON, and I tried making certain properties optional, but to no avail.
Here's the extension I'm using to decode, which works for the first file, but crashes for the second one with the message "Thread 1: Fatal error: Failed to decode justiceforvictims.json from bundle."
import UIKit
extension Bundle {
func decode<T: Decodable>(_ type: T.Type, from file: String) -> T {
guard let url = self.url(forResource: file, withExtension: nil) else {
fatalError("Failed to locate \(file) in bundle.")
}
guard let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) else {
fatalError("Failed to load \(file) from bundle.")
}
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
guard let loaded = try? decoder.decode(T.self, from: data) else {
fatalError("Failed to decode \(file) from bundle.")
}
return loaded
}
}
These are the structs describing the JSON files:
struct petitionLabel: Codable, Identifiable {
var id: String
var name: String
var items: [petitionName]
}
struct petitionName: Codable, Equatable, Identifiable {
var id: String
var name: String
var link: String
var organization: String?
var justiceForVictims: Bool
var policyReform: Bool
var description: String?
#if DEBUG
static let example = petitionName(id: "45", name: "Hi", link: "bye", organization: "6", justiceForVictims: true, policyReform: false, description: "HI")
#endif
}
I'm calling the separate files like this:
let petitionlabelPolicyReform = Bundle.main.decode([petitionLabel].self, from: "petitions.json")
let petitionlabelJusticeForVictims = Bundle.main.decode([petitionLabel].self, from: "justiceforvictims.json")
This is the malfunctioning JSON file:
