Parsing PHP Web Service Replt In Swift - json

Question

I am new to Swift but am trying to use a PHP based web service that returns a reply :-
{
responseData = {
1 = {
name = "3D SYSTEMS CORP";
result = success;
};
10 = {
name = "ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO-CL A";
result = success;
};
};
}
I have assumed this is a valid JSON format but have not been able to work out how to load this data which is just a list of strings into an string array. I have trie code such as this to iterate one rte elements but with no success.
let url = urlComponents.URL
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(url!) {
(data, response, error) -> Void in
if let urlContnet = data
{
do {
let jsonResult = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(urlContnet, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)
if let nudges = jsonResult["responseData"] as? NSArray {
for nudge in nudges {
print(nudge)
}
}
}
catch
{
print("ERROR")
}
}
}
task.resume()
can anyone help
Thanks
Steve

Answer 1

There are two things here
Your JSON is malformed. You can check the validity of JSON at:
http://jsonlint.com
There are several issues in your JSON. The corrected JSON is here:
{
"responseData": {
"1": {
"name": "3D SYSTEMS CORP",
"result": "success"
},
"10": {
"name": "ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO-CL A",
"result": "success"
}
}
}
responseData is a dictionary and not an array. Change your code to process this dictionary instead of array.
