Model dynamic plist to struct?

Using Swift

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>winter</key>
    <dict>
        <key>parents</key>
        <string>barbados</string>
        <key>girlfriend</key>
        <string>hawaii</string>
        <key>friends</key>
        <string>honolulu</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>





enum Calendar: String, CaseIterable, Codable {

    case spring
    case summer
    case fall
    case winter
}


enum HolidayHome: String, CaseIterable, Codable {

    case barbados
    case hawaii
    case honolulu
}
                 


struct HolidayPlanner: Codable {
    
    struct Season: Codable {
        var spring: [Calendar.AllCases : String]
    }

    struct Destination: Codable {
        var barbados: [HolidayHome.AllCases : String]
    }

    var spring: Season
    var barbados: Destination
    
    private enum CodingKeys : String, CodingKey {
        case spring
        case barbados
    }
}

I wanted to model a plist that I dynamically create to better manage the data, but I can’t figure out how to serialize the data from the plist into struct?

The problem is that each nested level, not being static, prevents me from doing this. I tried hardcoding the first nested level “spring” with an aim to iterate over all of the possible cases in the enum, but it didn’t work, and I don’t know if this is the right approach?

I’m struggling to understand your requirements here. The example property list you posted doesn’t seem to make any sense. For example, the parents key is set to barbados and the girlfriend key is set to hawaii. Is that the property list you’re trying to parse? Or is it an example of what happens when things go wrong? If it’s the latter, can you post of the former?
