Hi - I’ve been following Swift’s evolution in the swift-evolution mailing list. As it exists today on the server is still lacking some key features needed to implement key-value-coding.
There is a MIrror class that allows you to see the property names of a class (or even a struct) and get the value of each property. But it only works for properties. It does not work for methods in your objects. In addition, it is read-only, i.e. you can get the values but you cannot set properties. Hopefully by Swift 4 or 5 those features will arrive. But they are not there in Swift 3. On Apple platforms they are able to use CoreData because they are leveraging Objective-C run-time. However, the Objective-C run-time is not available on the server.
