Is there something like a StringCatalog Codable type?

Using Swift

Is there a Codable type that I can use to JSON decode and encode String Catalogs (xcstrings files), or do I need to roll my own?

(I'm thinking of making some small tooling related to xcstrings files.)

None that I know of, which is why I created swift-string-catalogs.

Typical usage would be:

let decoder:JSONDecoder = JSONDecoder()
guard let data:Data = FileManager.default.contents(atPath: path) else {
        return
}
let value:StringCatalog = try decoder.decode(StringCatalog.self, from: data)

I've been using it in production (on a Linux server) for months to localize https://litleagues.com (litleagues currently only supports English & Spanish, but swift-string-catalogs can support all languages that xcstrings supports).
