UIBezierPathSerialization encodes and decodes between JSON and UIBezierPath objects, following the API conventions of Foundation's NSJSONSerialization class. The output JSON implements a subset of the Path to JSON proposal that allows SVG Paths to be serialized as a normalized JSON object.

To install UIBezierPathSerialization, just drag the class files into your project. Alternatively, if you're using CocoaPods just specify pod 'UIBezierPathSerialization' in your Podfile.

#import "UIBezierPathSerialization.h"

UIBezierPath *bezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
NSError *error = nil;
    
NSData *data = [UIBezierPathSerialization dataWithBezierPath:bezierPath options:0 error:&error];

#import "UIBezierPathSerialization.h"

NSString *path = [[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] pathForResource:@"simple_path" ofType:@"json"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];
NSError *error = nil;
    
UIBezierPath *bezierPath = [UIBezierPathSerialization bezierPathWithData:data options:0 error:&error];
