To answer your second question, the reason is that using the protocol implies that all encoders and decoders must support anything that conforms to that protocol. We’re not sure this is a reasonable requirement. Many formats do not have any kind of support for arbitrary size integers, for example. Therefore, we felt it was best to limit it to a set of concrete types. We could change our minds on this before we ship Swift 4, if we feel it was the wrong decision. Now that the proposals are accepted we will be landing these branches in master soon, which means everyone has a great chance to try it out and see how it feels in real world usage before it’s final. - Tony > >> On Apr 25, 2017, at 3:59 PM, Douglas Gregor via swift-evolution >> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Proposal Link: >> https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0166-swift-archival-serialization.md >> >> <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0166-swift-archival-serialization.md> >> >> Hello Swift Community, >> >> The review of SE-0166 “Swift Archival & Serialization” ran from April >> 6...12, 2017.
