Description

Description

Currently, the generated Model classes know how to serialize/deserialize to/from JSON. Often, we need to use the same model classes to hydrate/rehydrate to/from pList files. It will be good to have the model classes reused for this purpose.

This will be built on the same lines as the serializable option in the Java codegen

Swagger-codegen version

2.2.1-SNAPSHOT

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing Java serializable option in the codegen to understand the pattern, then implement analogous NSCoding support in the Swift templates.
