How do I parse empty dictionary JSON in Swift? - json

Question

I am parsing JSON using swift. I came to a dictionary which returns empty. How would I go about parsing this into a custom object?
** I am looking at Image**
},
"name": "Al bake",
"image": {},
"website": "",
"category": {
"id": "d59d2b1c-ca37-4c76-bb93-1c0ba967ee84",
"name": "Test Category",
"slug": "test-category",
"is_active": true
},

Answer 1

If you need the value for image, which should be a dictionary (empty or containing keys & values), you need to know the type that contains it.
For instance, let's assume that the following code is contained in a dictionary:
"name": "Al bake",
"image": {},
"website": "",
"category": {
"id": "d59d2b1c-ca37-4c76-bb93-1c0ba967ee84",
"name": "Test Category",
"slug": "test-category",
"is_active": true
You would do something like this:
if let image = dictionary["image"] as? Dictionary<String, Any> {
print(image.description)
} else {
print("Image does not contain a value")
}
