Bencode is a general purpose bencode encoder & decoder written in Swift 5.
Inspired by VFK SwiftyBencode & arvidsigvardsson/Bencode
Just add a new package on your project, and point to this repository.
Bencode is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'Bencode'
Initialize with URL:
let bencode: Bencode? = Bencode(file: torrentUrl)
Initialize with bencoded string:
let bencode: Bencode? = Bencode(bencodedString: content)
Would you like to know more of the parsing failures, use the decoder:
do {
let bencode = Bencoder().decode(from: fileURL)
} catch let error {
print(error)
}
Accessing properties:
Accessing properties is very handy with subscripts & accessors.
Value accessors .int
, .string
, .list
& .dict
are optional.
Subscripts produces BencodeOptional enums, by doing so you can chain optional subscripts without having to write ?
or !
behind every one of them.
Bencode also comfort to Sequence protocol, so you can use map
, filter
, foreach
etc. on them. :)
let bencode = Bencode(file: torrentUrl)
let info = bencode["info"]
let files = info["files"]
// You can use them as a sequence
// .values is a shorthand for .map{ $0.value }
files.values.forEach {
print($0["path"][0].string!)
}
// Easy optional chaning without unwapping every stage:
let filePath: String? = info["files"][0]["path"][0].string
let fileLength: Int? = bencode["info"]["files"]["length"].int
