Accessing JSON data in swift - json

Question

I am trying to access JSON data in my swift code and I'm having trouble getting it to return correctly. Here is my JSON code:
[
{
"id": "1",
"isImage": "0",
"name": "test name",
"post": "test post",
"time": "10:27",
"ip": "192.168.1.1",
"city ": "Columbus",
"latlong": "39.896418,-82.9751105",
"clientID": "clientID",
"popularity": "300"
},
{
"id": "2",
"isImage": "0",
"name": "test name two",
"post": "test post two",
"time": "13:37",
"ip": "192.168.1.1",
"city ": "Columbus",
"latlong": "39.896418,-82.9751105",
"clientID": "clientID",
"popularity": "69"
}
]
I'd just like to know how to access the data by their keys json[0].['id'] or?
I am currently using this json.swift module and trying to access the data with
func jsonHandle(data: NSString) {
var parsedJSON = JSON(data)
var id = parsedJSON[0].["id"]
NSLog("\(id)")
}
but it returns nothing. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

You can call the JSON(string:...) rendition and eliminate the period between the [0] and the ["id"]:
func jsonHandle(data: NSString) {
let parsedJSON = JSON(string: data)
var id = parsedJSON[0]["id"]
NSLog("\(id)")
}
Or, if you had a NSData you could use the JSON(data: ...) rendition:
func jsonHandle(data: NSData) {
let parsedJSON = JSON(data: data)
let id = parsedJSON[0]["id"]
NSLog("\(id)")
}
Or, if you wanted to use the native NSJSONSerialization, rather than that third-party library, you could:
func jsonHandle(data: NSData) {
var error: NSError?
let parsedJSON = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: nil, error: &error) as NSArray
let id = parsedJSON[0]["id"]
NSLog("\(id)")
}
Personally, I'd lean towards the standard NSJSONSerialization approach as it's a tried and true approach, but that's your call.
