How to decode <itunes:episode> tags

[RichardAtDP]

How would one go about decoding a tag with a colon in it, for example:

544 Thanks

Hi @RichardAtDP, the colon in the name denotes the presence of the itunes namespace. You could strip it with the shouldProcessNamespaces property on XMLDecoder, as described in README.md. Does that answer your question?

Thanks @MaxDesiatov - I'm wondering how to integrate that option in a Combine pipeline?

[MaxDesiatov]

Did you check the existing section about Combine? The decoding operator takes a decoder instance as an argument, you can pass your own with shouldProcessNamespaces set as needed.

Got it! Thanks for your help.

For reference

let decoder = XMLDecoder();
decoder.shouldProcessNamespaces = true

self.cancellable = URLSession.shared.dataTaskPublisher(for: url)
            .map {  $0.data }
            .decode(type: Response.self, decoder: decoder )
            .catch { err in
                return Just( Response(info:info), error: "\(err)") )
            }
           .replaceError(with: Response(info:info), error: "\(err)") )
           .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main)
           .eraseToAnyPublisher()
           .assign(to: \.response, on: self)
