Trying to parse JSON in Swift, but get error

Question

{
    "base": "EUR",
    "date": "2016-09-23",
    "rates": {
        "AUD": 1.4685,
        "BGN": 1.9558,
        "BRL": 3.5931,
        "CAD": 1.4625
    }
}

I got a json like this, and i tried to get the rates, but got the error, my code like:

let id = json["rates"] as? String
print("rates   :" + id!)

I am new to swifty, i want to get each rates separately, can anyone help me? thanks

Answer 1

Try this:

If let id = json["rates"] as? [String:AnyObject] {
    print("rates   :" + id)
}

Answer 2

You can follow the below mentioned code to get the individual values.

Here the rate is a dictionary type, hence all values can be fetched by its corresponding key values (ie AUD, BGN, etc like this json["rates"]??["AUD"] ) as shown in my code.

My Code :

    let id = json["rates"]
    print("rates   : \(id)");

    print("AUD = \(json["rates"]??["AUD"])");
    print("BGN = \(json["rates"]??["BGN"])");
    print("BRL = \(json["rates"]??["BRL"])");
    print("CAD = \(json["rates"]??["CAD"])");

Hope it helps.

Happy coding...

You may do it like this too, it can give as many rates you have in your dictionary.

if let rates = json["rates"] as? [String: AnyObject] {

                for rate in rates {

                    let corresponsdingRate = rate.1 as? Float ?? 0.0
                    print("\(rate.0) = \(corresponsdingRate)")
                }
            }
