Swift: Create Dictionary from Inner Items of JSON Array - json

Question

In Swift, I have a POST request to a URL which returns JSON similar to this:
{"users":[{
"user":{"userID":"1","userName":"John"}},
{"user":{"userID":"2","userName":"Mary"}},
{"user":{"userID":"3","userName":"Steve"}},
]}
Here's the Swift code:
var result = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.allZeros, error: nil) as? NSDictionary
println(result?.count)
println(result)
...Which outputs this:
Optional(1)
Optional({
users = ({
user = {
userID = 1;
userName = John;
};
},
{
user = {
userID = 2;
userName = Mary;
};
},
{
user = {
userID = 3;
userName = "Steve";
};
});
})
I'm trying to loop through the "user" elements but nothing I try is working. I have a dictionary of the "user" level JSON, but don't know how to go on to get the child "users" of this. Does anyone know how I can do this? If I could look through them to println() the users' names that would be a great start.

Try this.
var result = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.allZeros, error: nil) as? NSDictionary
if let users = result?.objectForKey("users") as? [[String:AnyObject]]
{
for user in users
{
if let userValues = user["user"] as? [String:AnyObject]
{
println(userValues["userID"]!)
println(userValues["userName"]!)
}
}
}
