SWIFT 2: Loop through JSON array - json

Question

I am getting this json from a url, the return JSON is:
[{"id":1,"name":"Mary"},{"id":2,"name":"John"}]
I want to display the names in a TableView on IOS.
My Swift2 Code is:
class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate {
var NumberOfPersons = 0
var NameOfPerson = [String]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
parseJSON()
}
func parseJSON(){
do {
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: "http://zzzzzz.com/API/name.php")!)
let jsonResult = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)
let NumberOfPersons = jsonResult.count
**LOOP THROUGH THE JSON ARRAY**
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
}
}
How can I loop through the JSON array to put which name in a cell on a Table View?

Answer 1

The variable jsonResult is an array of dictionaries, so you can loop through the array with
for anItem in jsonResult as! [Dictionary<String, AnyObject>] { // or [[String:AnyObject]]
let personName = anItem["name"] as! String
let personID = anItem["id"] as! Int
// do something with personName and personID
}
In Swift 3 the unspecified JSON type has been changed to Any
for anItem in jsonResult as! [Dictionary<String, Any>] { ... // or [[String:Any]]

Answer 2

make the JSON results in a DICT and get it with a loop "for (key, value)"

Answer 3

If your is finally
let jsonResult = [{"id":1,"name":"Mary"},{"id":2,"name":"John"}]
var jsonDictResult[String: Int] = jsonResult;
Updated:
let jsonResult: AnyObject? = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data,
options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments,
error:&parseError)
