Parsin JSON directory inside another directory - ios

Question

Alamofire.request("https://example.com/stories.php", method: .post, parameters: parameters).validate().responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .success:
if let json = response.result.value {
let json2 = JSON(json)
for (_, subJSON): (String, JSON) in json2[0]["stories"] {
if let arr = subJSON["user"].dictionary {
let title = arr["name"]?.string
let id = arr["id"]?.int
let photo = arr["picture"]?.string
let rel1 = InboxStories(title: title!, storyID: id!, photo:photo!)
cell.arrayOfRels.append(rel1)
}
}
cell.getStoryDel()
}
case .failure(_):
print("hata")
}
}
JSON output
[{
"stories": [{
"id": "s1",
"last_updated": "1582543824",
"user": {
"id": "2",
"name": "testuser",
"picture": "https:\/\/example.com\/ios\/images\/profile_pic\/116534.jpg"
},
"snaps_count": "1",
"snaps": [{
"id": "c1",
"mime_type": "image",
"url": "chttps:\/\/example.com\/ios\/stories\/image\/3434.jpg",
"last_updated": "1582543824"
}]
}],
"count": 1
}]
I am trying to reach user key of stories.
It returns nil in my code. How can I parse it?

Answer 1

stories is also an array, please note the []
And it's pretty confusing to name a dictionary arr 😉
if let stories = json2.array?.first?["stories"].array {
for story in stories {
if let dict = story["user"].dictionary {
let title = dict["name"]!.stringValue
let id = dict["id"]!.stringValue
let photo = dict["picture"]!.stringValue
let rel1 = InboxStories(title: title, storyID: id, photo:photo)
cell.arrayOfRels.append(rel1)
}
}
}
And consider to use Decodable. It's built-in and more comfortable than SwiftyJSON
