NSDictionary to json string to json object using SwiftyJSON

Question

I have a use case where I have an array of dictionaries and I need them as a json object:

var data = [Dictionary]()
//append items 
var byt         


        

Answer 1

I'm not sure what method you have on the 4th line there (JSON) but I got your code to work using NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData seen below:

var data = [Dictionary]()
data.append(["price":"1.20","city":"Foo","_id":"326105","street":"One"])
data.append(["price":"1.20","city":"Bar","_id":"326104","street":"Two"])

let bytes = try! NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(data, options: NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)
var jsonObj = try! NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(bytes, options: .MutableLeaves) as! [Dictionary]

print(jsonObj)
print(jsonObj[0])

... with output ...

"[[price: 1.20, city: Foo, _id: 326105, street: One], [price: 1.20, city: Bar, _id: 326104, street: Two]]"

"[price: 1.20, city: Foo, _id: 326105, street: One]"

Edit: I see now the tag for swifty-json. I'm not familiar with that, but the code I included above works with the built in methods.
