Groot
A Swift library for serializing Core Data object graphs to and from JSON using model annotations.
What is Groot?
Groot is a Swift library that facilitates bidirectional serialization between JSON and Core Data managed objects. It solves the common problem of mapping JSON API responses to persistent Core Data models by using annotations in the Core Data model itself, reducing manual coding and errors.
iOS and macOS developers working with Core Data who need to integrate JSON APIs into their applications, particularly those handling complex object graphs and requiring efficient data persistence.
Developers choose Groot because it provides a declarative, annotation-based approach to serialization, eliminating repetitive parsing code. Its support for object graph preservation, value transformers, and performance-optimized strategies makes it a robust alternative to manual or boilerplate-heavy solutions.
