To decode a JSON date to en_US_POSIX, you can use the DateFormatter class in Swift. The en_US_POSIX locale is particularly useful for parsing fixed-format date strings, as it ensures consistent behavior regardless of the user's device settings. Here's a basic example of how you might set this up:
import Foundation
let jsonDate = "2023-10-05T14:48:00Z" // Example JSON date string
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"
if let date = dateFormatter.date(from: jsonDate) {
print("Parsed date: \(date)")
} else {
print("Failed to parse date")
}
This code sets up a DateFormatter with the en_US_POSIX locale and a date format that matches the typical ISO 8601 format used in JSON. It then attempts to parse a date string and prints the result.
