Please avoid String(data:encoding:), especially in networked software as it has 2 failure modes (return nil or insert replacement characters for invalid UTF8 -- which one it chooses depends on what's broken).
The correct and faster way is String(decoding: data, as: UTF8.self) which also doesn't require Foundation and is not fallible

Thanks, broke out into apple/swift-openapi-generator#42

Same here, the correct and fast way is Data(value.utf8) which can't fail and is faster. You should audit your code to make sure String(data and data(using aren't present

Motivation
When the content type
text/plainis used, we had a bug where we were encoding the text usingCodableinto a JSON fragment, i.e.hello->"hello"(note the added quotes), which is incorrect. We should be usingLosslessStringConvertiblefor primitive types, so thathellois sent ashello(without the quotes).Modifications
Fixed the body conversion methods to use the string conversion if possible, and only use the
Codableimplementation for complex types.Result
When content type is
text/plain(and other plain text variants),hellois sent ashello, not"hello".Test Plan
Updated unit tests and added new ones to cover these cases.
