How do I manipulate nested dictionaries in Swift, e.g. JSON data?

Question

I\'m using NSJSONSerialization to parse JSON in a Swift application. However, the returned dictionary consists of a complicated, deeply nested structure, making it impractic

Answer 1

Just grab a reference to your json data as an NSDictionary:

var dict: NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: nil) as NSDictionary

then you can reference it using subscripts:

var myValue: NSString = dict["level1"]["level2"]
