How to i insert a JSON object into an array? - ios

Question

I have a JSON
"passengers": [{
"accompaniedByInfant": true,
"birthDate": {
"day": 6,
"fractionalSecond": 0.000,
"hour": 0,
"minute": 0,
"month": 9,
"orig_day": 6,
"orig_fracSeconds": 0.000,
"orig_hour": 0,
"orig_minute": 0,
"orig_month": 9,
"orig_second": 0,
"orig_timezone": 330,
"orig_year": 1991,
"second": 0,
"timezone": 330,
"year": 1991
},
"hasStrecher": false,
"parentSequence": 0,
"passengerTypeCode": "ADLT",
"gender":"M"
"personName": {
"givenName": "v",
"nameTitle": "MR",
"shareMarketInd": false,
"surname": "j"
},
"requestedSeatCount": 1,
"shareMarketInd": false,
"unaccompaniedMinor": false
}, {
"accompaniedByInfant": false,
"birthDate": {
"day": 10,
"fractionalSecond": 0.000,
"hour": 0,
"minute": 0,
"month": 10,
"orig_day": 10,
"orig_fracSeconds": 0.000,
"orig_hour": 0,
"orig_minute": 0,
"orig_month": 10,
"orig_second": 0,
"orig_timezone": 330,
"orig_year": 2010,
"second": 0,
"timezone": 330,
"year": 2010
},
"hasStrecher": false,
"parentSequence": 0,
"passengerTypeCode": "CHLD",
"personName": {
"givenName": "some",
"shareMarketInd": false,
"surname": "child"
},
"requestedSeatCount": 1,
"shareMarketInd": false,
"unaccompaniedMinor": false
},
and so on depending on the number of passengers.
I have to sent this to the server in
let param : [String: Any] =[ "passengers":passengerparameterarray,"pwd": password,"requestPurpose": "MODIFY_PERMANENTLY_AND_CALC","unm": username ]
Here passengerparameterarray is an array of type string.(here is the issue). I stored details of each passenger in an array
paramarray and whenever user finishes adding details, paramarray is added to the passengerparameterarray on position depending on the indexPath. (1 passenger = added on 0th index, 2 = on 0th and 1st index and so on).
But when I send it to server it goes like
"passengers" : [ [ ..... ] ]
This gives me error as I have an array inside of the array. How do I fix this? I try changing to string but that gives me error as String isn't JSON object because of the " coming before { .
I converted each array to JSON Object. But how do i JSON Object the main array? As the Main array is [String]() . If i try changing to [String:Any]() , things like
array.insert()
Wont work.
How do I fix this? I want to add the JSON object into an array and then sent it to the server.

Answer 1

try this
var param : [String:Any] = ["requestedSeatCount" : 1, "gender" : "M", "parentSequence" : 0, "passengerTypeCode" : "ADLT", "shareMarketInd" : false]
param.updateValue(["nameTitle" : "MR", "givenName" : "aaaa", "surname" : "aaa"], forKey: "personName")
param.updateValue(["year" : "2019", "day" : "29", "month" : "5"], forKey: "birthDate")

Answer 2

This was a stupid question. This all happened because originally my array was
var passengerparameterarray = [Array<Any>]()
instead of
var passengerparameterarray = Array<[String: Any]>()
Which as expected stopped me from inserting JSON object which is in the form of "String:Any"
