Then again there are third party solutions, for example my own SwifterJSON single-class framework that you can download from github. :-) Regards, Rien Site: http://balancingrock.nl Blog: http://swiftrien.blogspot.com Github: http://github.com/Balancingrock Project: http://swiftfire.nl > On 03 Feb 2017, at 14:00, Roy Henderson via swift-users > <swift-users@swift.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm about to develop my first non-trivial (for me) Swift 3 app. It will > retrieve data from a web server and present it on an iOS device. > > I would welcome guidance regarding whether I should use JSON or XML to store > the data on the web server?
