Interpolate colors between zoom level

Use an interpolate expression to style the background layer color depending on zoom level.
ColorExpressionExample.swift
import UIKit
import MapboxMaps

final class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var mapView: MapView!
private var cancelables = Set<AnyCancelable>()

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

// Center the map over the United States.
let centerCoordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 40.58058466412761,
longitude: -97.734375)
let options = MapInitOptions(cameraOptions: CameraOptions(center: centerCoordinate, zoom: 3), styleURI: .streets)

mapView = MapView(frame: view.bounds, mapInitOptions: options)
mapView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
view.addSubview(mapView)

// Allows the view controller to receive information about map events.
mapView.mapboxMap.onMapLoaded.observeNext { [weak self] _ in
self?.setupExample()
}.store(in: &cancelables)

}

// Wait for the style to load before adding data to it.
func setupExample() {
/**

*/

let stops: [Double: UIColor] = [
0: .red,
14: .blue
]

let exp = Exp(.interpolate) {
Exp(.linear)
Exp(.zoom)
stops
}

if let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(exp.self),
let jsonObject = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) {
try! mapView.mapboxMap.setLayerProperty(for: "land",
property: "background-color",
value: jsonObject)
}



}
}
