SwiftyJson不起作用？

Question

I'm trying to get information off a website that I created myself, where I need to read a JSON object to import it's data into my iOS App (written in Swift). I can only find very few tutorials on how to do that, and most of which are using a SWIFTYJson Library ( https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON ). The problem is when I use the Library the actual Library code itself seems to be having some errors, maybe due to the recent updates in Xcode. Even the example from the tutorial doesn't work.

Has anyone different apporaches to solve this problem without using SwiftyJson?

Thanks

This is the actual SwiftyJson file that i donwloaded. This is now in his own example where the code seems to be having some errors.

Answer 1

As you stated in comment, you use Xcode 6.3 and this is the cause SwiftyJSON isn't working. You've downloaded the newest version of the library, which is compatible with Swift 2.1 and Xcode 6.3 is bundled with Swift 1.2 if I recall correctly. You should always use the newest version of the Xcode available (not counting beta releases). Version of Xcode also affects version of Swift you have. As Swift is young language, it faces lots of changes between versions which triggers changes in frameworks written in Swift.

Answer 2

The first error which I can see "No type named Indexable..." seems to be reported in the SwiftyJSON project few months ago and the solution to it is to use Xcode 7 for building.

I can also see that you use iOS SDK 8.3, which probably could be updated to 9.2 and fix the problem. If you use Xcode 6, try updating to Xcode 7 and the errors will probably be fixed. Also I don't see any reason to use old SDK version if a new one is available.

Try import SwiftyJSON file as below without project.

If you want to use like your version:

Try to create a new swift file and import this swiftyJSON version manually. (not the latest) This should work with xcode 7.2 and Swift 2 and deployment target 8.0.

Don't forget to import Alamofire and SwiftyJSON .

 // This is Alamofire Request
  func LoginWithAPI(completion : (String) -> ()) {
    Alamofire.request(.POST, "your_api_url", parameters: ["username":"bodrum", "password":"yalikavak"], encoding: ParameterEncoding.JSON)
      .validate()
      .responseJSON { response in
        switch response.result {
        case .Success:
          // Parse your result to JSON object first.
          // JSON is SwiftyJSON object.
          let jsonResponse = JSON(data: response.data!)
          let result = jsonResponse["result"].stringValue
          completion(result)
        case .Failure(let error):
          completion(error.description)
        }
    }
  }

if you want to add any header , use this line:

Alamofire.request(.POST, "your_api_url", parameters: ["username":"bodrum", "password":"yalikavak"], encoding: ParameterEncoding.JSON,
  headers: ["header_key": "header_value"])
