I have using a API Response that is not in JSON format but wanted to still decode it, what are the ways that can achieve this stage.
Right now the response is failing, Failed to decode JSON: dataCorrupted(Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "The given data was not valid JSON.
I want to decode regardless of being a non-json response
I tried using replacing =(equals) with : and parsed the JSON and it worked, but after making few changes it stopped working
The Response is in this format
Data = { "value" = "pair"; "value2" = "pair2"; }
My attempt
let validJSONString = rawString
.replacingOccurrences(of: "=", with: ":")
.replacingOccurrences(of: "NA", with: "null")
.replacingOccurrences(of: ";", with: ",")
One option is to add another replace to get rid of the trailing comma
.replacing(/,\s*}/, with: "}")
So the whole conversion is
let validJSONString = rawString
.replacingOccurrences(of: " =", with: ":")
.replacingOccurrences(of: "NA", with: "null")
.replacingOccurrences(of: ";", with: ",")
.replacing(/,\s*}/, with: "}")
