Get JSON in Swift - json

Question

This is my code to get JSON, and it's work with this url I found on an other questions : http://binaenaleyh.net/dusor/.
But, when I use it with this url : http://www.netcampus.fr/api/schools, it didn't work at all. I have an error who said : "exc_breakpoint (code=exc_i386_bpt subcode=0x0)"
Is my code wrong, or is it the JSON data ?
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var myData:NSData = getJSON("http://www.netcampus.fr/api/schools")
println(myData) // show me data
var myDict:NSDictionary = parseJSON(myData)
println(myDict)
}
func getJSON(urlToRequest: String) -> NSData{
return NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: urlToRequest))
}
func parseJSON(inputData: NSData) -> NSDictionary{
var error: NSError?
var boardsDictionary: NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(inputData, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &error) as NSDictionary // error here
return boardsDictionary
}
}

Answer 1

Your parseJSON method crashes when parsing the second JSON. NSJSONSerialization maps its contents to an array and you are expecting a dictionary:
var boardsDictionary: NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(inputData, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &error) as NSDictionary // error here

Answer 2

As #reecon pointed out ,your code should be like this
//JSON Parsing
func JSONParsingSample() {
var myData:NSData = getJSON("http://www.netcampus.fr/api/schools")
//println(myData) // show me data
var myDict:NSArray = parseJSON(myData)
println(myDict)
}
func getJSON(urlToRequest: String) -> NSData{
return NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: urlToRequest))
}
func parseJSON(inputData: NSData) -> NSArray{
var error: NSError?
var boardsDictionary: NSArray = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(inputData, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &error) as NSArray
return boardsDictionary
}
//end

let urlString = "webAPI"
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: urlString)!)
let session = URLSession.shared
request.httpMethod = "GET"
session.dataTask(with: request)
{
data, response, error in
if error != nil
{
print(error!.localizedDescription)
return
}
do
{
let jsonResult: NSDictionary? = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary
self.dict = jsonResult as! NSMutableDictionary
print("Synchronous\(jsonResult)")
DispatchQueue.main.async
{
let url = URL(string: ((((self.dict.value(forKey: "sources") as! NSArray).object(at: 5) as! NSDictionary).value(forKey: "urlsToLogos") as? NSDictionary)?.value(forKey: "small") as? String)!)
let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url!)
}
}
catch
{
print"error"
}
}.resume()
