how to parse string array with SwiftyJSON?

Question

Using SwiftyJSON how would I parse the following JSON array into a Swift [String]?

{
    \"array\": [\"one\", \"two\", \"three\"]
}         


        

Answer 1

{
    "myArray": ["one", "two", "three"]
}

Using SwiftyJSON, you can get an array of JSON objects with:

var jsonArr:[JSON] = JSON["myArray"].arrayValue

Functional programming then makes it easy for you to convert to a [String] using the 'map' function. SwiftyJson let's you cast string type with subscript '.string'

var stringArr:[String] = JSON["myArray"].arrayValue.map { $0.stringValue}
