Correct handling of NSJSONSerialization (try catch) in Swift (2.0)?

Question

arowmy init works fine in Swift < 2 but in Swift 2 I get a error message from Xcode Call can throw, but it is not marked with \'try\' and the error is not handled

Answer 1

The jsonObject can throw errors, so put it within do block, use try, and catch any errors thrown. In Swift 3:

do {
    let anyObj = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as! [String: Any]

    let label = anyObj["label"] as! String
    let value = anyObj["value"] as! Int
    let uprate = anyObj["uprate"] as! Int
    let sufix = anyObj["sufix"] as! String

    let props = Fieldpropertie(label: label, value: value, uprate: uprate, sufix: sufix)

    // etc.
} catch {
    print("json error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Or, in Swift 4, you can simplify your code by making your struct conform to Codable:

struct Fieldpropertie: Codable {
    let label: String
    let value: Int
    let uprate: Int
    let suffix: String
}

Then

do {
    let props = try JSONDecoder().decode(Fieldpropertie.self, from: data)
    // use props here; no manual parsing the properties is needed
} catch {
    print("json error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

For Swift 2, see previous revision of this answer.

Answer 2

Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but isn't the method JSONObjectWithData:options:error:? I think you're missing the error parameter.

Answer 3

JSONSerialization.JSONObject throws ErrorType and not NSError.

so the correct catch is

do {
    let anyObj = try JSONSerialization.JSONObject(with: data, options: []) as! [String:AnyObject]
    // use anyObj here
} catch let error {
    print("json error: \(error)")
}

The type of error in catch let error is ErrorType
