pod 'EasyDictionary'This little helper provides some methods to get optional and non-optional values from your dictionary. This can be used anywhere, but we use it mostly to parse data from an endpoint into an object.
- Generic way of getting types from a dictionary.
- Parse urls directly.
- Parse dates directly.
- Parse timezones from a date string. (of course since we build THE travel app ;-)
- Any more requests?
