How to parse a dictionaray and array JSON in Swift 5 - json

Question

I'm trying to parse a JSON file with the following format:
{
"OnDemand" : {
"program" : [
{
"Sunday" : "https://example1.m4a",
"SundaySharePage" : "https://example1",
"name" : "Example 1",
"weekdays" : "Sunday"
},
{
"Monday" : "https://example2.m4a",
"MondaySharePage" : "https://example2",
"name" : "Example 2",
"weekdays" : "Monday"
}
]
}
Using this code:
struct AllPrograms: Codable {
let OnDemand: [Dictionary<String,String>: Programs]
}
struct Programs: Codable {
let program:Array<String>
}
func parsePrograms (urlString:String) {
if let url = URL(string: urlString) {
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
if let data = data {
let jsonDecoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
let parsedJSON = try jsonDecoder.decode(AllPrograms.self, from: data)
print(parsedJSON.OnDemand)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}.resume()
}
}
But I'm getting this error:
typeMismatch(Swift.Array<Any>, Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [CodingKeys(stringValue: "OnDemand", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "Expected to decode Array<Any> but found a dictionary instead.", underlyingError: nil))
How do I fix this? Thank you!

Answer 1

use this code block to create your Model,
import Foundation
// MARK: - AllPrograms
struct AllPrograms: Codable {
let onDemand: OnDemand
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case onDemand = "OnDemand"
}
}
// MARK: - OnDemand
struct OnDemand: Codable {
let program: [Program]
}
// MARK: - Program
struct Program: Codable {
let sunday, sundaySharePage: String?
let name, weekdays: String
let monday, mondaySharePage: String?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case sunday = "Sunday"
case sundaySharePage = "SundaySharePage"
case name, weekdays
case monday = "Monday"
case mondaySharePage = "MondaySharePage"
}
}
You can use this website for easly creating models according to json data.
By the way in your json there is one } missing. check your json if you use hard coded.
