Getting a dictionary var from parsed json in swift - json

Question

i'm trying to set all the parsed information in json in a dict variable but it returns an empty dict. when i get the array value, everything works completely fine.
here is my code:
let dic = json.arrayValue
for each in dic {
let data = each["data"].dictionaryValue
print (data)
let date = each["date"].stringValue
print (date)
}
parsing date works fine too. and note that my json file is not empty. because when i get the arrayValue everything is fine. here is the output when i print each["data"].arrayValue:
[{
"factoryPrice" : 0,
"size" : 25,
"t5" : 0,
"t3" : 0,
"type" : 1,
"bongahPrice" : 2435,
"sherkat" : "",
"priceConfirmed" : 1,
"id" : 1658,
"factory" : 9,
"exist" : true,
"t1" : 0,
"provice" : 1,
"properties" : {
"طول" : "12 متری",
"info" : "",
"استاندارد" : "A2",
"standard" : "A3",
"رنگ" : "مشکی",
"نوع" : "آجدار"
},
"factoryName" : "نیشابور",
"city" : 306,
"name" : "",
"phoneNumber" : "09338810407",
"createdAt" : "2018-02-16 12:52:50",
"ownerId" : 282,
"shomareSabt" : "",
"t4" : 0,
"profileType" : 0,
"t2" : 0,
"modirName" : "آرزومند",
"bongahName" : "میلگرد تهران",
"updatedAt" : "11:36",
"weight" : 22,
"group" : 57,
"bongahAddress" : "بازاراهن شادباد بوستان بلوک B",
"bongahPhone" : "02166139083"
}]
and this only one of the arrays. i get multiple arrays in response.
so what should i do?

Answer 1

The JSON you have has an array as its top level element. This is clear by the first character: [.
You can't directly get a dictionary value for your JSON because it represents an array. That's the reason trying to get dictionaryValue returns nil.
