Parsing JSON with SwiftyJSON - json

Question

I'm having trouble parsing the following JSON file with SwiftyJSON. I've looked around the web and tried different suggested solutions with no luck.
Here is the JSON:
{'info-leag':{'Status':1,'Name':'Testing Name','url-lig':'test.testing.com','uid':'12345'}}
And my relevant code:
//initializes request
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)
NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.currentQueue()) { response, maybeData, error in
if let data = maybeData {
let json = JSON(data: data)
//stores data as UTF8 String
let contents = NSString(data:data, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding)
The first part seems to work fine, I am able to get the JSON and save it as data, at the bottom I converted it to a string to make sure that I was getting the right information, I then later print it to make sure.
I tried different things like:
let name = json["info-league"]["Name"] //can't seem to get the context
I'm trying to get the Name and uid to be saved as 2 strings as well as the Status as an int.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Once you've made your JSON valid like this:
{"info-league":{"Status":1,"Name":"Testing Name","url-lig":"test.testing.com","uid":"12345"}}
you will be able to use your example, it works (I just tested):
let name = json["info-league"]["Name"]
but it's better to use SwiftyJSON types:
let name = json["info-league"]["Name"].string
let status = json["info-league"]["Status"].int
so your variables are of known types for later use.
If you don't do this they will be of type JSON, a type created by SwiftyJSON, and you will have to cast them later (not a problem, depends how you're organised in your code).

Answer 2

Try:
let name = json["info-league"]["Name"].string
