7.0.0 - Rename deserialization protocols for clarity, improve usability of error types, etc.
Renaming XMLIndexerDeserializable protocol and Adding XMLValueDeserialization protocol
I renamed XMLIndexerDeserializable
to be XMLObjectDeserialization
- its purpose is to deserialize object structures like classes or structs. So, multiple values. Then, there is a new protocol named XMLValueDeserialization
- it serves the purpose of both XMLElementDeserializable
and XMLAttributeDeserializable
. It is only used for custom value deserialization. I hope this will clarify the usage a lot. It makes sense to me anyway!
This should cover the use case at #148.
Usability of Errors
Multiple times when helping people, I'd notice that the nodeIsInvalid
error would get thrown, but the error message was just about impossible to determine what was wrong. The code had implemented CustomStringConvertible
but everyone was using localizedDescription
. Now, errors implement LocalizedError
, too, so it is a lot more obvious to see the elements that had caused issues.
Code Reorganization
The code had all been lumped into two Swift files since the beginning. It was unwieldy then, but it has just gotten worse. So I gave in and broke them all out into their own files by type. Much better.
