[swift-users] Decoding dates with dateDecodingStrategy

[Solli Honorio]

Ray,

For now, my strategy to date decoding is configuring

<code>
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = JSONDecoder.DateDecodingStrategy.custom({
foo -> Date in
let container = try foo.singleValueContainer()
let dateStr = try container.decode(String.self)
return myCustomDateParse(dateStr)
})
</code>
