In Swift 4 and later, the Decodable protocol provides a convenient way to parse JSON data into Swift objects. Here's an example demonstrating how to use the Decodable protocol to parse JSON in Swift:

Assuming you have the following JSON data:

{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
}

And you want to create a Swift struct to represent this data:

import Foundation

// Define a struct conforming to Decodable
struct Person: Decodable {
    let name: String
    let age: Int
    let city: String
}

// JSON data
let jsonData = """
{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "New York"
}
""".data(using: .utf8)!

// Use JSONDecoder to decode JSON data into a Person object
do {
    let person = try JSONDecoder().decode(Person.self, from: jsonData)
    print("Name: \(person.name)")
    print("Age: \(person.age)")
    print("City: \(person.city)")
} catch {
    print("Error decoding JSON: \(error)")
}

In this example:

• We define a Person struct that conforms to the Decodable protocol. The struct's properties match the keys in the JSON data.
• We create a JSON string and convert it to Data using data(using:).
• We use JSONDecoder to decode the JSON data into an instance of the Person struct.

Ensure that the keys in your Swift struct match the keys in your JSON data, and the data types match accordingly. The JSONDecoder automatically maps the JSON data to the struct based on the property names.

This example assumes a simple JSON structure. If your JSON structure is more complex, you may need to define additional structs conforming to Decodable to represent nested structures.

In UDP, the term "connected" has a different meaning compared to TCP. Since UDP is a connectionless protocol, there is no established connection between the sender and receiver. However, you can determine if the UDP socket is in a listening state or if it has been successfully created.

To check if a UDP socket is in a listening state, you can use the socket.SOCK_DGRAM type and the bind() method. If the socket is successfully created and bound to an address and port, it will be in a listening state and ready to receive incoming UDP packets.

Here's an example using Python:

import socket

# Create a UDP socket
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)

# Bind the socket to an address and port
server_address = ('localhost', 12345)
server_socket.bind(server_address)

# Check if the socket is in a listening state
print("Socket is in a listening state: ", server_socket.getsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR) == 1)

# Close the socket
server_socket.close()

In this example, the bind() method creates a UDP socket and binds it to the specified address and port. The getsockopt() method is used to retrieve the SO_REUSEADDR option, which indicates whether the socket is in a listening state. If the value is 1, the socket is in a listening state and ready to receive incoming UDP packets.

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).

Rotary proxies are proxies that cyclically change their real IP address. This is used to make it harder to track their location. The port usually changes as well. How this happens depends on the software used on the proxy server.

Simply, in the connection properties of your PC or mobile device, you need to enter the data of the proxy server through which you will be connecting. In Windows, for example, this is done through "Settings", then "Network and Internet", and in the next window you should open the tab "Proxy server".
