I think of RawRepresentable (the protocol behind rawValue) as a serialization mechanism, basically the Swift standard library's answer to NSCoding. Thus, rawValue is a way to serialize your enum into an Int or String you know how to read and write from disk. More broadly, I often apply RawRepresentable to structs and have them return plist- or JSON-compatible dictionaries. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
