Summary
Fixes an issue where
JSONEncoderincorrectly applied key encoding strategies (like.convertToSnakeCase) to dictionary keys that implementCodingKeyRepresentable, when these keys should preserve their semantic meaning and remain unchanged.Problem
When encoding dictionaries with
CodingKeyRepresentablekeys (e.g., custom enum or struct keys),JSONEncoderwas treating them as regular coding key values and applying key conversion strategies. This caused keys like "leaveMeAlone" to be transformed to "leave_me_alone" even when the key itself represents a semantic identifier that should remain unchanged.Solution
_JSONStringDictionaryEncodableMarkerprotocol to cover anyCodingKeyRepresentable-keyed dictionaries, not justString-keyed ones._JSONCodingKeyRepresentableDictionaryEncodableMarkerto reflect its broader scope.CodingKeyRepresentablekeys directly to their string representation without applying encoding transformations.Test Plan
Added test case
encodingDictionaryCodingKeyRepresentableKeyConversionUntouched()that verifies:CodingKeyRepresentablekeys preserves original key names..convertToSnakeCaseare not applied to the dictionary keys.CodingKeyRepresentable.Checklist
This change ensures that dictionaries with semantic keys maintain their intended structure while still allowing key
encoding strategies to work correctly for object properties during regular encoding.
