Polymorphic JSON Encoding ignores Subclass properties

Hi CWC Community!!

I have a Superclass Person with name and age properties and a Subclass Worker with a job property.

I wanted to Encode a Worker instance to JSON including the job property but apparently, the JSONEncoder only encodes the Person properties.

Does anyone know how I can also encode the job property?

import Foundation

class Person: Encodable {
	var name: String
	var age: Int
	
	init(name: String, age: Int) {
		self.name = name
		self.age = age
	}

This file has been truncated. show original

{
  "name" : "Paul",
  "age" : 47
}

{
  "name" : "David",
  "age" : 28
}
