I am trying to parse a string I manually created in swift using loops. I made it as a string, then I tired to use Swifty JSON to turn that string into json. When I try to loop through the json, my code never enters the loop. I suspect there is a data type issue but I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the json structure that I created as a string
[{
"category_name": "AIR SYSTEM",
"cntpassed": 0,
"cntfailed": 0,
"isfailed": 0,
"isstarted": 1,
"iscomplete": 1,
"isnotcomplete": 0,
"cnttotal": 5
}, {
"category_name": "ENGINE COMPARTMENT",
"cntpassed": 0,
"cntfailed": 0,
"isfailed": 0,
"isstarted": 1,
"iscomplete": 1,
"isnotcomplete": 0,
"cnttotal": 27
}, {
"category_name": "EXTER.",
"cntpassed": 0,
"cntfailed": 0,
"isfailed": 0,
"isstarted": 1,
"iscomplete": 1,
"isnotcomplete": 0,
"cnttotal": 3
}]
I turn it into json using swifty json method
let json = JSON(jsonStringAbove)
Then I tried to loop through it in swift
public func jsonFormSectionsArray(jsonString: String) -> Array<String>
{
print("In jsonFormsSectionArray")
var anArray: [String] = []
let json = JSON(jsonString)
print("\nHeres the JSON \(json)")
for (key, subJson) in json {
// My code never gets to this point
if let category = subJson["category_name"].string {
print(category)
anArray.append(category)
}
}
print("PETE --> In Function Array \(anArray)")
return anArray
}
Your JSON looks like an array of dictionaries, so you can't iterate through it with key-value pairs. You need to iterate through the array. You don't need to manually iterate through each key-value pair of the dictionary, you can directly look up a value if you know the keys.
I am not sure how is the JSON created by SwiftyJSON represented, but if it's an array of dictionaries, this works just fine.
for dictionary in json {
if let category = dictionary["category_name"] as? String {
print(category)
anArray.append(category)
}
}
