Hi Jon, First of all, I'd like to point out that I've found your tone to be quite rude. Calling the design of Codable, that has gotten a lot of work from Apple and swift-evolution, as silly is insulting and can leave people hurt. If you have found it lacking, please say so: we're all here to discuss any feedback people have had with Swift. But please do so with respect for the people and the work behind it. Now, concerning Codable, I find its name quite apt. It was never intended to be used a full JSON parser but as a strongly-typed Swift equivalent of Objective-C's NSCoding, which is nothing more than a framework for serializing and deserializing types into different file formats.
