How do I format JSON Date String with Swift?

Question

I make an http get request to a server and get back a json object with a date string like this:

{
    name = \"Place1\";
    temperature = 79;
    humidity =         


        

Answer 1

Here is my answer using extension in Swift4.

extension String {
  func toDate(dateFormat: String) -> Date? {

    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = dateFormat

    let date: Date? = dateFormatter.date(from: self)
    return date
}

Simple Usage

let str = "2013-07-21T19:32:00Z";
let dateStr = str.toDate(dateFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")

Also, Check dateFormat that you want from here. ISO 8601
