JSON Fragment Decoding

A JSONDecoder extension to allow decoding JSON fragments.

Usage

Simply pass allowFragments: true to a JSONDecoder.decode(_:from:) call, and you’ll be able to decode JSON fragments:

import Foundation
import JSONFragmentDecoding

let data = Data("10".utf8)

let decoded = try JSONDecoder().decode(Int.self, from: data, allowFragments: true)
print(decoded) // 10

Installation

Honestly it’s so lightweight that you could just drop /Sources/JSONFragmentDecoding/JSONFragmentDecoding.swift into your project and be on your way.
