How to use

Simply define your struct as Codable and then when you need to map your JSON file to that object just call the loadFromBundle function. If you want to fetch JSON then parse it, you can call loadFromURL.

Example

Say you had a JSON file named people.json like this:

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Jane"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "name": "John"
  }
]

Now you need a data model like so:

struct Person: Codable {
   var id: Int
   var name: String
}

Now you all you need to do to populate a array of these is call the load method (After importing JSONLoader):

var people: [Person] = loadFromBundle("people")
