How to get parse json - SwiftyJSON - json

Question

I'm using SwiftyJSON.
I have a json string like this:

"geocoder_status" : "OK",

what I want to get is routes->legs->distance->text.
my codes:
let json = NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) as! String
if let data = json.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8) {
let json = JSON(data: data)
print("--->\(json["routes"]["legs"]["distance"]["text"].string)")
}
print returns --->nil.

Answer 1

routes and legs are arrays, you have to get the first entry first:
let json = NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) as! String
if let data = json.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8) {
let json = JSON(data: data)
if let route = json["routes"].first {
if let leg = route["legs"].first {
print("--->\(leg["distance"]["text"].string)")
}
}
}
p.s. You may need to do some logic checking if you don't want the first entry in the arrays.
