Is this supposed to be able to decode a struct with an [Any] parameter automatically? Or we need to manually decode it?

I'm pondering... would this GIST code help me to decode the JSON from Alpha Vantage's TimeSeriesDaily?
https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=IBM&apikey=demo
Which has this JSON:

`{
    "Meta Data": {
        "1. Information": "Daily Prices (open, high, low, close) and Volumes",
        "2. Symbol": "IBM",
        "3. Last Refreshed": "2022-07-01",
        "4. Output Size": "Compact",
        "5. Time Zone": "US/Eastern"
    },
    "Time Series (Daily)": {
        "2022-07-01": {
            "1. open": "141.0000",
            "2. high": "141.6700",
            "3. low": "139.2600",
            "4. close": "141.1200",
            "5. volume": "4012106"
        },
        "2022-06-30": {
            "1. open": "139.5800",
            "2. high": "142.4600",
            "3. low": "139.2800",
            "4. close": "141.1900",
            "5. volume": "4878020"
        },
....
        
        "2022-02-08": {
            "1. open": "137.2300",
            "2. high": "137.5200",
            "3. low": "135.7800",
            "4. close": "137.0200",
            "5. volume": "4181825"
        }
    }
}

I'm wondering how to use the code... How do I specify the Dictionary of some number of Daily Dictionaries, for the JSON parsers?

struct Result: Codable {
    let metaData: MetaData
    let timeSeriesDaily: TimeSeriesDaily

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case metaData = "Meta Data"
        case timeSeriesDaily = "Time Series (Daily)"
    }
}

struct  DailyTimeSeries:  Codable {    //  use CoadableExtension  for Dictionary  [String: Any]
    let daily:  [String: DailyQuote]
}

I've banged my head on this a lot over the last few weeks. Finally a solution:

struct Daily: Codable {
    let open: String
    let high: String
    let low: String
    let close: String
    let volume: String
    
    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case open = "1. open"
        case high = "2. high"
        case low = "3. low"
        case close = "4. close"
        case volume = "5. volume"
    }
}
struct MetaData: Codable {
    let information: String
    let symbol: String
    let lastRefreshed: String
    let outputSize: String
    let timeZone: String

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case information = "1. Information"
        case symbol = "2. Symbol"
        case lastRefreshed = "3. Last Refreshed"
        case outputSize = "4. Output Size"
        case timeZone = "5. Time Zone"
    }
}

struct Result: Codable {
    let metaData: MetaData
    let timeSeriesDaily:  [String:Daily]

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case metaData = "Meta Data"
        case timeSeriesDaily = "Time Series (Daily)"
    }
}
