Writing an extension this afternoon to encode some data to JSON and I finally came across an obvious place to use generics, which is something I've been eagerly waiting for. I know there are probably a ton of places I could've and should've already been using them, but I haven't really got my head around them yet. Here, though, it was obvious even to me a generic was the perfect answer.

I haven't actually tested the code yet as I was called away to dinner at the local Indian restaurant, but I look forward to testing and refining it tomorrow.

extension Encodable {
    static func saveEncodedData<T: Encodable>(_ data: [T], toFilePath path: URL) {
        let json = try? JSONEncoder().encode(data)

    do {
        try json!.write(to: path)
    } catch {
        print("Failed to write JSON data: \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
    }

}
