I'm trying to use Swift to make a GET call to a REST API, and have tried to follow numerous tutorials, but can't figure it out. Either because I cannot figure out how to translate all the Obj-C to Swift, or because half of the methods n' such are deprecated. Does anyone know how to make the call, and parse returned JSON data?
You can do like this :
var url : String = "http://google.com?test=toto&test2=titi"
var request : NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest()
request.URL = NSURL(string: url)
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue(), completionHandler:{ (response:NSURLResponse!, data: NSData!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
var error: AutoreleasingUnsafeMutablePointer<NSError?> = nil
let jsonResult: NSDictionary! = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options:NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: error) as? NSDictionary
if (jsonResult != nil) {
// process jsonResult
} else {
// couldn't load JSON, look at error
}
})
EDIT : For people have problem with this maybe your JSON stream is an array [] and not an object {} so you have to change jsonResult to
NSArray
instead ofNSDictionary
