I m using Alamofire and SwiftyJSOn to parse JSON output. It works very well however some sites give json with escaped output. I use Alamofire like below
Alamofire.request(.POST, url, parameters: param, encoding: .JSON)
.responseJSON { (req, res, json, error) in
var json = JSON(json!)
Site gives me JSON result with escaped string so SwiftyJSON can't decode it. How can I convert below
{
"d": "{\"UniqeView\":{\"ArrivalDate\":null,\"ArrivalUnitId\":null,\"DeliveryCityName\":null,\"DeliveryTownName\":null},\"ErrorMessage\":null,\"Message\":null,\"IsFound\":false,\"IsSuccess\":true}"
}
to something like
{
"d": {
"UniqeView": {
"ArrivalDate": null,
"ArrivalUnitId": null,
"DeliveryCityName": null,
"DeliveryTownName": null
},
"ErrorMessage": null,
"Message": null,
"IsFound": false,
"IsSuccess": true
}
}
// This Dropbox url is a link to your JSON
// I'm using NSData because testing in Playground
if let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: "https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ycsy0pq2iwgy0e/test.json?dl=1")!) {
var error: NSError?
var response: AnyObject? = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.allZeros, error: &error)
if let dict = response as? NSDictionary {
if let key = dict["d"] as? String {
let strData = key.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
var error: NSError?
var response: AnyObject? = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(strData!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.allZeros, error: &error)
if let decoded = response as? NSDictionary {
println(decoded["IsSuccess"]!) // => 1
}
}
}
}
I guess you have to decode twice: the wrapping object, and its content.
