Swift JSON Get into TableViewCell - ios

Question

My Data format
{
"StationID": "1001",
"StationName": {
"Zh_tw": "基隆",
"En": "Keelung"
},
"TrainNo": "1281",
"Direction": 1,
"TrainClassificationID": "1131",
"TripLine": 0,
"EndingStationID": "1025",
"EndingStationName": {
"Zh_tw": "新竹",
"En": "Hsinchu"
},
"ScheduledArrivalTime": "22:02:00",
"ScheduledDepartureTime": "22:04:00",
"DelayTime": 0,
"Platform": "",
"SrcUpdateTime": "2017-01-24T22:14:29+08:00",
"UpdateTime": "2017-01-24T22:14:40+08:00"
},
My Code (Swift 3)
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell", for: indexPath) as! TableViewCell
// Configure the cell...
cell.stationID.text = trainStatusArray[indexPath.row]["StationID"] as? String
let stationDirect = trainStatusArray[indexPath.row]["Direction"] as? Int
if stationDirect == 0 {
cell.stationdirection.text = "順行"
}else{
cell.stationdirection.text = "逆行"
}
cell.stationtrainNo.text = trainStatusArray[indexPath.row]["TrainNo"] as? String
let stationTripline = trainStatusArray[indexPath.row]["TripLine"] as? Int
if stationTripline == 0 {
cell.stationtripLine.text = "不經山線/海線"
}else if stationTripline == 1 {
cell.stationtripLine.text = "山線"
}else {
cell.stationtripLine.text = "海線"
}
//cell.stationtripLine.text = String(stationTripline!)
return cell
}
My question is how to get StationName, Zh_tw, and En transfer to TableView cell?

Answer 1

StationName and EndingStationName both are Dictionary so you can get value of Zh_tw like this way.
if let stationName = trainStatusArray[indexPath.row]["StationName"] as? [String:Any],
let zhTW = stationName ["Zh_tw"] as? String, let en = stationName ["En"] as? String {
cell.stationName.text = zhTW
}else {
cell.stationName.text = ""//Set default name
}
Same goes for EndingStationName also.
Note: Instead of using Array of dictionary if you create array of custom object from this dictionary it will lot easy for you assign label text in cellForRowAt method.

First convert JSON String into Data and again convert Data into Dictionary form using JSONSerialization
Swift 3
func convertToDictionary(text: String) -> [String: Any]? {
if let data = text.data(using: .utf8) {
do {
return try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any]
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
return nil
}
// pass your String JSON
let dict = convertToDictionary(text: str)
Swift 2
func convertStringToDictionary(text: String) -> [String:AnyObject]? {
if let data = text.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) {
do {
return try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: []) as? [String:AnyObject]
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
}
return nil
}
get dictonary from String
let dict= convertStringToDictionary(str)
if let strStationName= result?["EndingStationName"] {
let zhTW = strStationName["Zh_tw"] as? String
cell.stationdirection.text=zhTW
}
