Can not get Json data with Alamofire Swift - json

I try to get json data from web site, however, I can access to json data as the following.
{
"product_categories":[
{  
"id":27,
"name":"Clothing",
"slug":"product-categories-1",
"parent":0,
"description":"",
"count":3
}
]
}
On the other hand, when I try to get json data as below,
{
"product":{
"title":"Night Cream",
"id":4573,
"created_at":"2015-08-21T07:54:09Z",
"updated_at":"2015-08-27T01:37:06Z",
}
}
there is on jason data response back “[]”
I am using Alamofire to get data. Here is my code.
Alamofire.request(.GET, url).responseJSON {
(request, response, json, error) in
if json != nil {
var jsonObj = JSON(json!)
if let data = jsonObj["product"].arrayValue as [JSON]? {
self.productsAll = data
self.collectionView!.reloadData()
}
How can I get all of product data. Please advise. Thank you.

you are trying to cast a json object to a json array, which means your conditional unwrapping will never execute.
replace
if let data = jsonObj["product"].arrayValue as [JSON]? {
self.productsAll = data
self.collectionView!.reloadData()
}
with
if let data = jsonObj["product"].dictionaryObject {
// since self.productsAll seems to be an array, append the product to the array or rebuild the array before calling self.collectionView!.reloadData()
}

How to parsing we parsing dictionary of array in swift by using object mapper

I facing problem with this how to overcome this.
func addressApi()
{
let params = ["":""]
WebService.shared.apiGet(url: addressApiURL, parameters: params) { (response, error) in
if error == nil
{
guard let data = response?["data"] else{return}
guard let address = data["address"] as? string else{return}
}
}
}
I getting response like this : Response
I want to getting address and locationName from that response how is it.
I facing error this: Error
Here we are don't getting the values superately from array of dictionaries.
For that one you need to write the for loop.
If incase you are using Modelclass then then directly load that class into collection view or tableview

Return JSON data from Parse Cloud Code to a Decodable Struct in Swift

I'm looking to run a Cloud-Code function from a Swift application and receive an object as a response. The response object from Parse is a standard JSON object as defined below and is not an object stored is Parse. Essentially, I'm looking to end up with an custom object defining the results of a cloud function's execution, not an object stored in the database.
I'm struggling with decoding the CloudCode response on the Swift side of things to a custom object following the Decodable protocol.
Sample Cloud Code
Parse.Cloud.define("MyCloudFunc", function(request, response) {
var results = {
"someBooleanProperty": true,
"someIntProperty": 1,
};
response.success(results);
}
Sample Swift Code
PFCloud.callFunction(inBackground: "MyCloudFunc", withParameters: []) { (result, error) in
// Printing `result` at this point shows what appears to be a JSON object.
guard let data = result as? Data else { return }
// Whatever type `result` actually is cannot be cast as Data, so we never make it past here.
guard let response = try? JSONDecoder().decode(MyDecodableStruct, from: data) else { return }
// DO SOMETHING WITH THE RESULT
}
Decodable Struct
struct MyDecodableStruct: Decodable {
var someBooleanProperty:Bool
var someIntProperty: Int
}
Question
How can I take that response from the Parse Cloud Code and end up with a decoded object of type MyDecodableStruct?
UPDATE
As suggested in the comments/answers, Parse is returning a Dictionary. I have been able to get everything working with the below; however, I feel there is a better way than double-conversion.
PFCloud.callFunction(inBackground: "MyCloudFunc", withParameters: []) { (result, error) in
guard let jsonString = result as? String else { return }
guard let data = jsonString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8) else { return }
guard let response = try? JSONDecoder().decode(MyDecodableStruct.self, from: data) else { return }
// DO SOMETHING WITH RESULT.
}
Am I overlooking a way to convert from the Dictionary directly Data without doing the JSON conversion in-between?
Part of PFCloud's job is to create generic collection types from the cloud function response. Since the cloud function is answering a JS object, PFCloud should -- without the app noticing -- transmit JSON and parse it before invoking the callFunction callback.
So the posted cloud code result will the be a dictionary. Check to see that with...
if result is Dictionary<AnyHashable,Any> {
print("result is a Dictionary")
}
To convert that to the OP struct, add a from-dictionary initializer to it...
struct MyDecodableStruct: Decodable {
var someBooleanProperty:Bool
var someIntProperty: Int
init(dictionary: [AnyHashable,Any]) {
self.someBooleanProperty = dictionary["someBooleanProperty"] as? Bool ?? false
self.someIntProperty = dictionary["someIntProperty"] as? Int ?? 0
}
}

How to parse JSON data and eliminate duplicates in Swift?

I have a very large JSON file that I have downloaded from the web, and I need to parse this in Swift. The JSON construction is an array of dictionaries. Each dictionary object contains a key of "phone" (referring to the phone number), and whose value is the actual phone number in the form of a string.
What I would like to do, is iterate through the entire list of dictionary objects in the array, and ensure that there are no dictionary objects that have the same value for the key, "phone". If a duplicate is found, I would like to eliminate it from the list, and print it out to the console.
Here is the relevant code that I have:
guard let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [[String: Any]] else {
print("error")
return
}
for dict in json! {
//This is where I would do the check
}
How would I accomplish this?
You can do as
var ph = [String]()
var newjson = [[String:String]]()
for dict in json {
if ph.contains(dict["Phone"]!) {
print("duplicate phone \(dict["Phone"]!)")
} else {
ph.append(dict["Phone"]!)
newjson.append(dict)
}
}
print(newjson)
Hare newjson is the new array of dictionary that do not have duplicate phone
Use the array extension method to remove the duplicates from the json object
extension Array where Element: Equatable {
mutating func removeDuplicates() {
var result = [Element]()
for value in self {
if !result.contains(value) {
result.append(value)
}
}
self = result
}
}
Alamofire.request(apiURL, method: .get, parameters:parameters, headers:headers)
.responseJSON { response in
if let result = response.result.value {
let json = JSON(result)
var listArray = json["somekey"].arrayValue
listArray.removeDuplicates()
print(listArray)
}
}

How would I parse this type of JSON using SwiftyJSON?

[
{
"ID": 0,
"Name": "PHI"
},
{
"ID": 0,
"Name": "ATL"
}
]
I'm using SwiftyJSON and Alamofire. This is what is being returned. I want to loop through each of these objects now in my code. I'm having trouble getting this information though.
json[0]["Name"].string seems to return nil, and I'm not sure why. The JSON object is definitely getting the JSON, when I print it to the console it looks exactly like above.
I also tried:
var name = json[0].dictionary?["Name"]
Still nil though.
Any ideas?
EDIT
Here's the code I'm using to retrieve the JSON.
Alamofire.request(.GET, "url", parameters: nil, encoding: .JSON, headers: nil).responseJSON
{
(request, response, data, error) in
var json = JSON(data!)
//var name = json[0].dictionary?["Name"]
}
Your JSON is valid (at least this snippet is), and your first method to retrieve the data from SwiftyJSON is correct.
On the other hand, the Alamofire snippet you showed didn't compile for me, I had to change the signature.
Given that in the comments you say that not only json[0]["Name"] is nil but json[0] is also nil, I think you have a problem with how your data is fetched.
I tested this version of the Alamofire method in a sample app and it worked well:
Alamofire.request(.GET, yourURL).responseJSON(options: nil) { (request, response, data, error) in
let json = JSON(data!)
let name = json[0]["Name"].string
println(name)
}
In the screenshot, the URL is my local server, with your JSON copy pasted in "test.json".
This "answer" is an extension of my comment, I needed room to show more info...
I think you might try this.
first convert JSON(data) using swifyJSON
let json = JSON(data!)
then count the array element in data.
let count: Int? = json.array?.count
after that use for loop to reach array element one.
for index in 0...count-1 {
self.idArray.append(json[index]["ID"].stringValue)
self.nameArray.append(json[index]["Name"].stringValue)
}
you will get sorted data in "idArray" and "nameArray". try to print both the array.
You do not have to use index to parse array. You can get single json object from array and use it to access the data:
for (index: String, subJson: JSON) in json {
println("Current Index = \(index)")
if let _id = subJson["ID"].int {
println("ID = \(_id)")
} else {
println("Error ID")
}
if let _name = subJson["Name"].string {
println("Name = \(_name)")
} else {
println("Error Name")
}
}

How to get array from nsdisctionary swift

//Process your appointments here.
}
//Same goes for other such json fields.
