Parse JSON with no title Swift 3 - json

Question

I am pulling down a json stream? From a phant server I can pull the data down parse it and print it in xcode. I need to pull out specific values but the json does not have a title and I can not seem to figure it out.
My JSON Data
(
{
lat = "36.123450";
long = "-97.123459";
timestamp = "2017-04-26T05:55:15.106Z";
},
My Current Code in Swift
let url = URL(string: "https://data.sparkfun.com/output/5JDdvbVgx6urREAVgKOM.json")
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!) {(data, response, error) in
if error != nil {
print("error")
} else {
if let content = data {
do {
// JSONArray
let myJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: content, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as AnyObject
print(myJson)
let Coordinates = myJson["lat"] as! [[String:Any]]
print(Coordinates)
} catch {
}
}
}
}
task.resume()
}

Answer 1

Please read the JSON. [] represents an array, {} a dictionary.
The JSON is an array of dictionaries. All keys and values are String.
let url = URL(string: "https://data.sparkfun.com/output/5JDdvbVgx6urREAVgKOM.json")
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url!) {(data, response, error) in
if error != nil {
print("error: ", error!)
} else {
do {
let coordinateArray = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!) as! [[String:String]]
for coodinate in coordinateArray {
let lat = coodinate["lat"] ?? "n/a"
let long = coodinate["long"] ?? "n/a"
let timestamp = coodinate["timestamp"] ?? "n/a"
print("latitude: \(lat), longitude: \(long), timestamp: \(timestamp)")
}
} catch {
print (error)
}
}
}
task.resume()
As always, .mutableContainers has no effect in Swift but the tutorials which suggests that will never die off.

It looks like your JSON data is an array of objects, so myJson will be an array of dictionaries.
I would try something like this:
if let myJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: content, options: []) as? [AnyObject] {
print(myJson)
for obj in myJson {
if let dict = obj as? [String:AnyObject] {
print(dict)
if let lat = dict["lat"] as? String,
let lng = dict["long"] as? String,
let time = dict["timestamp"] as? String {
// do something with stuff
}
}
}
}
