Here i provide the code worked sample as per the guideline given below and seems to get null values.
Here is my complete JSON Data,
some: {
"success": true,
"data":
[
{
"15-10-2020": [
{
"id": 100,
"details": {
"_id": 1,
"_title": "My Title"
},
"created_at": "2020-10-15"
},
{
"snf_id": 101,
"details": {
"_id": 1,
"_title": "My Title"
},
"created_at": "2020-10-15"
},
{
"snf_id": 102,
"details": {
"_id": 1,
"_title": "My Title"
},
"created_at": "2020-10-15"
}
],
"30-09-2020": [
{
"snf_id": 301,
"details": {
"_id": 8,
"_title": "My Title"
},
"created_at": "2020-09-30"
}
]
}
],
"message": "Successfully Retrieved"
}
struct Response : Codable {
var success : Bool?
var data : [Data]?
var message : String?
}
struct Data: Codable {
var snf_id: Int?
var details: Details?
var created_at: String?
}
// MARK: - Details
struct Details: Codable {
var _id: Int?
var _title: String?
}
let Response = try JSONDecoder().decode(Response.self, from: data)
Returns null value for data,
▿ Response
▿ success : Optional
- some : true
▿ data : Optional<Array>
▿ some : 1 element
▿ 0 : Data
- snf_id : nil
- details : nil
- created_at : nil
▿ message : Optional
- some : "Successfully Retrieved"
There is no myData key in your json , your json top structure is an array that contains elements where every element value is an array like [[String: [Root]]]
struct Root: Codable {
let id: Int?
let details: Details
let createdAt: String
let snfID: Int?
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id, details
case createdAt = "created_at"
case snfID = "snf_id"
}
}
// MARK: - Details
struct Details: Codable {
let id: Int
let title: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id = "_id"
case title = "_title"
}
}
And to decode
let res = try JSONDecoder().decode([[String: [Root]]].self,from:data)
some: {
"success": true,
"data":
[
{
"15-10-2020": [
{
"id": 100,
"details": {
"_id": 1,

"_title": "My Title"
},
"created_at": "2020-09-30"
}
]
}
],
"message": "Successfully Retrieved"
}
struct Response : Codable {
var success : Bool?
**var data : [[String:[Data]]]?**
var message : String?
}
struct Data: Codable {
var snf_id: Int?
var details: Details?
var created_at: String?
}
// MARK: - Details
struct Details: Codable {

I am trying to consume data from an api in swift, json data has successfully been delivered back to the app but the json response from my backend is very complex hence forming struct for my model is very difficult. I'm able to only retrieve the simple strings but if I add the objects and arrays everything stops working

Here is the code that works, decoding your json data. Note the differences between my struct models and yours. You will need to consult the docs of the server to determine which fields are optionals and adjust the code for that:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var responders: [Responder] = []
var body: some View {
List(responders) { responder in
Text(responder.title)
Text(responder.description)
Text(responder.releaseDate)
}
.onAppear {
let json = """

I have problem with nested json decoding. Im getting no error but response is empty { }. Down bellow is my sample json and struct.
{
"categories": [
{
"ID": 130,
"data": [
{
"en": [
{
"title": "test"
}
],
"fr": [
{
"title": "teste"
}
]
}
],
"lifts": [
{
"ID": 104,
"data": [
{
"en": [
{
"code": "test",
"title": "test"
}
],
"fr": [
{
"code": "test",
"title": "test"
}
]
}
]
},
{
"ID": 105,
"data": [
{
"en": [
{
"code": "test",
"title": "test"
}
],
"fr": [
{
"code": "test",
"title": "test"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
And this is my struct
struct jsonResponse : Codable {
struct Categories : Codable {
let id : Int
let data : [LanguageData]
let lifts : [Lifts]
struct LanguageData : Codable {
let en, fr : [Data]
struct Data : Codable {
let code : String?
let title : String?
}
}
struct LiftsData : Codable {
let id : Int
let data : [LanguageData]
}
}
Then Im trying to decode JSON like this:
let lifts = try JSONDecoder().decode(jsonResponse.self, from: data)
But when I print lifts, i see only empty {}. Also no error message during decoding, so have no idea what can be wrong.
I'm using Alamofire and Decodable for a Google Books API request for performing a search.
I've created a Decodable model which I will add below and it worked up until I try to get any other field below "title" in "volumeInfo" (I've been commenting out properties one by one to check where it fails). The error I get after uncommenting "authors", "publisher" or anything other than "title" inside "volumeInfo" is:
responseSerializationFailed(reason: Alamofire.AFError.ResponseSerializationFailureReason.decodingFailed(error: Swift.DecodingError.keyNotFound(CodingKeys(stringValue: "publisher", intValue: nil)

i am getting data from an api like this

"url": "https://www3",
}
]
I have my model like this
struct PersonData: Codable {
let author: String?
let description: String?
let url: String?
}
But I dont know how to define the "internData", I tried with another Model "InterData" and define id and name like the PersonData, but i get an error, i tried also with [String:Any] but i get an error for the Codable protocol
I am using
let resP = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .init()) as? [String: AnyObject]
print("resP", )
in my script of Service/Network
Thanks if somebody knows
You can't use [String:Any] type in case of Codable. you need to create an another model of InternData, which is used by PersonData.
Code:
JSON Data :
let jsonData =
"""

"internData": {
"id": "abc123",
"name": "Doctor"

"internData": {
"id": "qwe900",
"name": "Constructor"
},
"author": "Edd Bett",
"description": "Is an Constructor",
"url": "https://www3",
}
]
"""
// Models
struct PersonData: Codable {
let author: String?
let description: String?
let url: String?
let internData : InternData?
}
// New model
struct InternData : Codable {
let id : String?
let name : String?
}
// Parsing
do {
let parseRes = try JSONDecoder().decode([PersonData].self, from: Data(jsonData.utf8))
print(parseRes)
}
catch {
print(error)
}
I am trying to get data from json response, and the response format is mentioning below. I want to fetch "recipient" dictionary, and need to show in table.each cell contains name and unique id and image. How to get this dictionary to story in local dictionary?

The best way to decode json in my opinion is to use Codable
I've created a few structs to represent the data and to decode it, please note this json wasn't valid so have had to wrap it in {}
Here's the json:
let jsonString = """
{
"chat": [
{
"id": 12,
"status": 0,
"created_at": "2019-02-22 04:57:12",
"updated_at": "2019-02-22 04:57:12",
"recipient": {
"id": 26,
"unique_id": "10024",
"name": "Kaverinew",
"avatar": "https://www.planetzoom.co.in/storage/user/avatar/1PyI4ceM3zPsG1fxbfatktWUT75sOE2Ttah8ctIp.png"
},
"conversation": {
"id": 65,
"chat_id": 12,
"user_id": 4,
"type": 1,
"message": "https://www.planetzoom.co.in/storage/chat/message/e759KWdSBegwXslAoS2xst0lohbbjNZMdpVnbxQG.png",
"status": 0,
"created_at": "2019-02-25 15:39:24"
}
},
{
"id": 6,
"status": 0,
"created_at": "2019-02-20 07:16:35",
"updated_at": "2019-02-20 07:16:35",
"recipient": {
"id": 7,
"unique_id": "10006",
"name": "Hema",
"avatar": "https://www.planetzoom.co.in/img/default_avatar_female.png"
},
"conversation": {
"id": 44,
"chat_id": 6,
"user_id": 4,
"type": 1,
"message": "https://www.planetzoom.co.in/storage/chat/message/qJjOtCRcBKBuq3UKaKVuVOEIQhaVPeJr3Bd4NoLo.png",
"status": 0,
"created_at": "2019-02-22 10:17:49"
}
}
]
}
Here are the structs:
struct Recipient: Codable {
var identifier: Int
var unique_id: Int
var name: String
var avatar: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case identifier = "id"
case unique_id = "unique_id"
case name = "name"
case avatar = "avatar"
}
}
struct Conversation: Codable {
var identifier: Int
var chat_id: Int
var user_id: Int
var conversationType: Int
var message: String
var status: Int
var created_at: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case identifier = "id"
case chat_id = "chat_id"
case user_id = "user_id"
case conversationType = "type"
case message = "message"
case status = "status"
case created_at = "created_at"
}
}
struct Chat: Codable {
var identifier: Int
var status: Int
var created_at: String
var updated_at: String
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case identifier = "id"
case status = "status"
case created_at = "created_at"
case updated_at = "updated_at"
}
}
struct RootObject: Codable {
var chats: [Chat]
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case chats = "chat"
}
}
And here is how you decode it:
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8) {
do {
let root = try JSONDecoder().decode(RootObject.self, from: jsonData)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
Assuming you already have a Data object representing your JSON you can use JSONSerialization to convert it to concrete Swift object. Once that is done you simply need to go step by step and extract the data. Something like the following should work nicely:
func retrieveRecipients(jsonData: Data?) throws -> [[String: Any]] {
guard let data = jsonData else { throw NSError(domain: "Parsing Recipients", code: 404, userInfo: ["dev_message": "Null JSON data inserted"]) }
guard let parsedJSON = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .allowFragments) else { throw NSError(domain: "Parsing Recipients", code: 500, userInfo: ["dev_message": "Data could not be parsed as JSON"]) }
guard let object = parsedJSON as? [String: Any] else { throw NSError(domain: "Parsing Recipients", code: 500, userInfo: ["dev_message": "Parsed JSON is not a dictionary"]) }
guard let items = object["chat"] as? [[String: Any]] else { throw NSError(domain: "Parsing Recipients", code: 404, userInfo: ["dev_message": "JSON is missing \"chat\" array"]) }
return items.compactMap { $0["recipient"] as? [String: Any] }
}
This is all the safety enabled. Otherwise you could do it very shortly:
func retreiveRecipientsStrict(jsonData: Data?) -> [[String: Any]] {
return ((try! JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as! [String: Any])["chat"] as! [[String: Any]]).compactMap { $0["recipient"] as? [String: Any] }
}
But this will crash if there is a mistake and it will be extremely hard to debug what went wrong.
