Featured iPhone Development Resources,iOS Development Libraries,Objective-C,Open Source iOS Libraries And ToolsHandling JSON data can be difficult using Swift because of Swift’s strictness with types.
Here’s a library that makes handling Swift in much easier called SwiftyJSON from Ruoyu Fu.
SwiftyJSON makes things much simpler automatically handling different types of data.
This example from the readme shows the mess caused from using NSJSON to handle parsing the user and name from JSON data even when using chaining:
if let userName = (((jsonObject as? NSArray)?[0] as? NSDictionary)?["user"] as? NSDictionary)?["name"]{
//What A disaster above
}
While with SwiftyJSON you could use something like:
if let userName = json[0]["user"]["name"].string{
//Now you got your value
}
SwifyJSON also handles wrapping of values, and handling incorrect keys.
You can find SwiftyJSON on Github here.
