Using JSONModel to parse array of custom models in Swift

Question

I am using JSONModel for creation of complex data models. I have recently migrated to swift and face difficulties during parsing an array of custom data models.

class ABCDomain: JSONModel
{
var sampleBool : Bool!
var sampleArray : Array <XYZDomain>!
}

After parsing, when i access the sampleArray i get the message as "fatal error: NSArray element failed to match the Swift Array Element type".

In Objective C, we would be creating a protocol as well for the XYZDomain, while in Swift a compiler error stating redeclaration is thrown. @property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray* sampleArray;

Primitive data type like Bool as well always appears as nil in the datamodel Please let me know if there is any workaround for this.

JSONModel is not fully appropriate to Swift. You should consider it using in Objective C or find another library. — ridvankucuk

I have found this as a good alternative. https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper

I have been using this for a while and don't have a problem with it.
