move a json file in swift

To move a JSON file in Swift, we need to use the FileManager class to perform file handling operations. First, we read the JSON data from the source file and decode it using the Codable protocol. Then, we write the decoded data to the destination file. Finally, we remove the source file if required.

Here's an example function that demonstrates how to move a JSON file:


main.swift
func moveJSONFile(from sourceURL: URL, to destinationURL: URL, deleteSource: Bool) throws {
    let sourceData = try Data(contentsOf: sourceURL)
    let decoder = JSONDecoder()
    let jsonData = try decoder.decode(MyData.self, from: sourceData)
    
    let encoder = JSONEncoder()
    let destinationData = try encoder.encode(jsonData)
    
    try FileManager.default.createDirectory(at: destinationURL.deletingLastPathComponent(),
                                            withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
    
    try destinationData.write(to: destinationURL)
    
    if deleteSource {
        try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: sourceURL)
    }
}

In this example, we are moving a JSON file from the sourceURL to destinationURL.

Please note that the MyData class used in this example is the Codable model class for your specific JSON data. You will need to define it appropriately before using the above function.
