I'm trying to build request body like this form:
{
"user": {
"id": 1,
"id": 2,
"id": 4
}
}
My first idea was built json from string and cast it to dictionary String and Any, but this solution have a issue. Some "id" are missing on casting by JSONSerialization step.
I tried to use:
var dictionary: [String : Any] = ["name" : "John"]()
var selectedIDs = Set<NSDictionary>()
// Adding values to selectedIDs set
let userIDDict = ["id" : id] as NSDictionary
selectedIDs.insert(userIDDict)
dictionary.updateValue(selectedIDs, forKey: "user")
But it cannot be cast by JSONSerialization (Invalid type in JSON write).
How can i resolve problem, which i'm facing?
Creating this request is not a problem; it's just not proper JSON, so you shouldn't try to use JSONSerialization. It's just a string, and so you can create that string:
let idKeyValues = ids.map { "\"id\": \($0)" }.joined(separator: ",\n ")
let request = """
{
"user": {
\(idKeyValues)
}
}
"""
===>
{
"user": {
"id": 1,
"id": 2,
"id": 4
}
}
The proper way to express this in JSON would be:
{
"user": {
"ids": [1, 2, 4]
}
}
With that, a Codable implementation should be very straightforward.

I have a pretty simple JSON file I would like to load into a SwiftUI project. The JSON file looks like this:
{
"all": ["foo", "bar", "baz", ...],
"4": ["asd", "qwe", ...],
"25": ["something", "another", ...],
...
"2": ["xxx", "yyy", ...]
}
Pretty simple, a dictionary where each value is a list of strings. The keys are "all" and then an arbitrary number of integers such as "1", "123" and so on. They must not be in order, they can be any number, and there may be any number of them. So I don't know before hand how many keys there are.
I have managed to get this JSON into a variable of type String. But now I am stuck with how to parse this so I can for example fetch the list at key "all", or check if the key "123" exists and if so get that list.
How do I do that in SwiftUI?
Oh, and by the way, the string are Unicode and contain special characters like åäö.
try this approach:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var dataList: [String:[String]] = [:]
var body: some View {
List(Array(dataList.keys), id: \.self) { key in
Section(header: Text(key).foregroundColor(.red).font(.headline)) {
if let values = dataList[key] {
ForEach(values, id: \.self) { item in
Text("\(item)")
}
}
}
}
.onAppear {
let json = """
{
"all": ["foo", "bar", "baz"],
"4": ["asd", "qwe"],
"25": ["something", "another"],
"2": ["xxx", "yyy", "åäö"],
"åäö": ["qwerty", "uiop", "dfghjkh"]
}
"""
if let data = json.data(using: .utf8) {
do {
self.dataList = try JSONDecoder().decode([String: [String]].self, from: data)
} catch {
print("decode error: \(error)")
}
}
}
}
}
I am new to swift and trying to figure out how to parse JSON to a struct. I am trying to get an image from NASA Mar's Rover Photos.I am trying to follow tutorials online, but can't seem to fix this issue. What am I doing wrong here?
error:

Your JSON format doesn't quite match what you're trying to decode. You need a wrapper for the latest_photos array at the root of your JSON object.
For example:
struct LatestPhotosWrapper: Codable {
let latestPhotos: [LatestPhoto]
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case latestPhotos = "latest_photos"
}
}
let apod = try JSONDecoder().decode(LatestPhotosWrapper.self, from: data)
(Rather than providing a CodingKey, you can also look into the built-in systems for converting from snake case: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/jsondecoder/keydecodingstrategy/convertfromsnakecase)
Also, you may want to print the error and not just the error.localizedDescription -- you can get a better picture of what's going on. For example, with your original code, you get:
Expected to decode Array but found a dictionary instead.
Finally, you might check out app.quicktype.io -- you can paste in your JSON and get correct Swift structs pre-built for you.
I have a json data. I never use SwiftyJSON before. I am trying first time.
My json like this:
[
{
"Id": 1,
"Name": "A",
"SubNames": [
{
"SubId": 1,
"SubName": "A1"
},
{
"SubId": 2,
"SubName": "A2"
}]
},
{
"Id": 2,
"Name": "B",
"SubNames": [
{
"SubId": 1,
"SubName": "B1"
},
{
"SubId": 2,
"SubName": "B2"
}]
}
]
I can handle Name and append a array. But I can't handle SubNames. I tried somethings but doesn't work unfortunately. I want to append SubNames a array. This array will be like this:
[["A1","A2"],["B1","B2"]]
I use this code:
let json = JSON(data: data!)
for (_,subJson):(String, JSON) in json {
self.names.append(subJson["Name"].stringValue
}
try this to access those fields, and you shouldn't do data! here
guard let `data` = data else {
//no data handling
return
}
let dataArray = JSON(data: data).arrayValue
var arrayOfAllSubnames: [[String]] = [[]]
for object in dataArray {
var arrayOfSubnames: [String] = []
if let subnames = object["SubNames"].array {
for subname in subnames {
//here you get `"SubId": 2, "SubName": "B2"` object
let subnameValue = subname["SubName"].stringValue
arrayOfSubnames.append(subnameValue)
}
}
arrayOfAllSubnames.append(arrayOfSubnames)
}
Swift 3.0
1) First declare sub name array.
var subNameArray: [[String]] = []
2) you can access and store this objects as below.
let json = JSON(data: data!).arrayValue
for item in json {
var tempArray: [String] = []
let name = item["Name"].stringValue
for subNameItem in items["SubNames"].arrayValue {
tempArray.append(subNameItem["SubName"].stringValue)
}
subNameArray.append(tempArray)
}
I've got an API endpoint that returns JSON in the following format:
[
{
"id": "1",
"name": "John"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Jane"
},
{
"id": "3",
"name": "Nick"
}
]
I am trying to parse this in Swift 3, but I can only find examples to parse JSON formatted like so:
{
"blogs": [
{
"needspassword": true,
"id": 73,
"url": "http://remote.bloxus.com/",
"name": "Bloxus test"
},
{
"needspassword": false,
"id": 74,
"url": "http://flickrtest1.userland.com/",
"name": "Manila Test"
}
],
"stat": "ok"
}
, which has an extra level above what mine does.
So, where examples I've seen are simply parsing their data like jsonResponse["blogs"], I can't do that as my format is different.
How can I parse the format I've got, or how can I return a format that is easier to parse?
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks!
You can just do the following :
let data = // Data received from WS
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions()) as? [[String : String]]
//json is now an array from dictionary matching your model
}
catch {
//handle error
}
This will parse it when placed in the network call.
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions()) as! [[String : AnyObject]]
let firstPerson = json[0]
print(firstPerson)
let id = firstPerson["id"] as! String
print(id)
let name = firstPerson["name"] as! String
print(name)
} catch {
//handle error
}
Also, I tend to be against advising third party libraries, but SwiftyJSON is an exception I make. If you want to try it, add this to your pod file:
pod SwiftyJSON', '3.0.0'
Documentation: https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
EDIT - Answering Comment:
Replacement line:
if let id = firstPerson["id"] as? String {
print(id)
}
Replacement line (if you need to hold on to the value):
var thisId: String?
if let id = firstPerson["id"] as? String {
thisId = id
}
print(thisId ?? "")
i don't really know swift but there might be the equivalent of ajax json encoding (server side you json_encode your array and client side you json_decode the response)
the idea is to have the same formatter that encodes and decodes the data
I have some JSON data that looks like this which I am trying to parse in Swift.
[
[
{
a: "1",
b: "2"
},
[
{
c: "3",
},
{
d: "4",
}
]
]
]
let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: .AllowFragments)
if let myArray = json[0] as? [[AnyObject]] {
for myObject in myArray {
print("This works!\(myObject)")
}
}
However nothing I try seems to work - any help would be appreciated.
you can use SwiftyJSON - https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
or create a class based on your JSON scheme try to parse with it.
like:
class object
{
let data = Array<subObject>()
}
class subObject
{
let subData = Array<Dictionary<AnyObject,AnyObject>>()
}
This snippet is not JSON. If it was JSON, the keys would be strings, like this:
[
[
{
"a": "1",
"b": "2"
},
[
{
"c": "3",
},
{
"d": "4",
}
]
]
]
And anyway in your screenshot we see that your JSON has already been parsed!
What you show in the image is not JSON either, but an array containing arrays and dictionaries...
But let's say your JSON is actually valid and the missing quotes are just a copy/paste problem.
Then to achieve your goal you have to cast the result of NSJSONSerialization to the correct JSON format, then you can access the inner objects.
Like this, for example:
do {
if let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as? [[AnyObject]] {
if let myArray = json.first {
for myObject in myArray {
print("This works!\(myObject)")
}
}
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
