Type-erased wrappers for `Encodable`, `Decodable`, and `Codable` values.

This functionality is discussed in Chapter 3 of
[Flight School Guide to Swift Codable](https://flight.school/books/codable).

## Installation

### Swift Package Manager

Add the AnyCodable package to your target dependencies in `Package.swift`:

```swift
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
  name: "YourProject",
  dependencies: [
    .package(
        url: "https://github.com/Flight-School/AnyCodable",
        from: "0.6.0"
    ),
  ]
)
```

Then run the `swift build` command to build your project.

### CocoaPods

You can install `AnyCodable` via CocoaPods
by adding the following line to your `Podfile`:

```ruby
pod 'AnyCodable-FlightSchool', '~> 0.6.0'
```

Run the `pod install` command to download the library
and integrate it into your Xcode project.

> **Note**
> The module name for this library is "AnyCodable" ---
> that is, to use it, you add `import AnyCodable` to the top of your Swift code
> just as you would by any other installation method.
> The pod is called "AnyCodable-FlightSchool"
> because there's an existing pod with the name "AnyCodable".

### Carthage

To use `AnyCodable` in your Xcode project using Carthage,
specify it in `Cartfile`:

```
github "Flight-School/AnyCodable" ~> 0.6.0
```

Then run the `carthage update` command to build the framework,
and drag the built AnyCodable.framework into your Xcode project.

## Usage

### AnyEncodable

```swift
import AnyCodable

let dictionary: [String: AnyEncodable] = [
    "boolean": true,
    "integer": 1,
    "double": 3.141592653589793,
    "string": "string",
    "array": [1, 2, 3],
    "nested": [
        "a": "alpha",
        "b": "bravo",
        "c": "charlie"
    ],
    "null": nil
]

let encoder = JSONEncoder()
let json = try! encoder.encode(dictionary)
```

### AnyDecodable

```swift
let json = """
{
    "boolean": true,
    "integer": 1,
    "double": 3.141592653589793,
    "string": "string",
    "array": [1, 2, 3],
    "nested": {
        "a": "alpha",
        "b": "bravo",
        "c": "charlie"
    },
    "null": null
}
""".data(using: .utf8)!

let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let dictionary = try! decoder.decode([String: AnyDecodable].self, from: json)
```

### AnyCodable

`AnyCodable` can be used to wrap values for encoding and decoding.
