Swift 2 Parse JSON Easily with One Line

How to create the Facebook News Feed (Part 1):

Image Zooming Core Animation Tutorial:

Today we discuss how to easily parse JSON that come from either REST apis, web services, or static files. This is a task that many developers are faced with. However, many inconsistencies exist out there that lead to hard to maintain code and a proliferation of hacky Cocoapod libraries.

The solution presented in this video requires no third party library and only uses what Apple has provided to us. You'll see how easily it is to setup your custom Class Objects with all of the necessary properties coming in from your JSON service.

Great videos. Great delivery. I saw in your bio that you teach IOS development. Was wondering if your full class is available online somewhere?

[sbassett]

Love your tutorials. Have some slow time at work right now so I've been focusing on how to rely less on storyboards. Great work. I would really like to go through the paid courses you have on your site but 140$ for all three is kind of high. If I had to pick one of the three which do you strongly recommend?

Thanks, I have a question here. How would I parse JSON from a URL ?
Here is what I did, its been complaining already
do {

let data = try(NSData(contentsOfURL: url!, options:
let jsonDictionary = try(NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: .MutableContainers))


print(jsonDictionary["data"])

if let postDictionary = jsonDictionary["data"] as? [String: AnyObject] {
let post = Post()

}

//print(jsonDictionary)
}




my json here:
{
"data": [
{"id":"10", "name":"Vanitas", "price":"85", "img":"http:\/\/localhost\/img\/vanitas.jpeg", "description":"", "rate":"5"}
]
}

First of all thanks for your tutorials. i

The response I'm getting is in the format of array like
[
{ "user": "user1",
"name": "name"
},
{ "user": "user1",
"name": "name
}
]
I'm using alamofire object mapper to handle but since no key value its not mapping and always returning nil is there any way to handle this type of array response.

thanks in advance.

Hi, how we can convert complex JSON with dictionary and array with multiple parent-child to our class ?

[codeelsewhere]

Hi,
firstly it is a fantastic video and I have really understood a good stuff. I have couple of question.
Q.1. if I wish to make alias of any key(because sometimes keys from JSON are weird), what I need to do?
Q2. How to handle description property and key ( because its generic in NSObject.)?
thanks in anticipation.

Hello,
I try to make an application for my organization and I arrived at the " Articles" .

I have a website and so a MySQL database using a PHPMyadmin containing all data (Articles etc .. )

I would use these same data in my application, for not having to create a new base in Firebase, and also have a plublier several times more support.

Do you know a method to allow me to do this? if so, can you help me please ?
