Add a return value to a closure [duplicate]

问题

I'm not very familiar with closure. I'm using this function to download a JSON file from a remote server

requestJson(){
    // Asynchronous Http call to your api url, using NSURLSession:
    NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(NSURL(string: "http://api.site.com/json")!, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
        // Check if data was received successfully
        if error == nil && data != nil {
            do {
                // Convert NSData to Dictionary where keys are of type String, and values are of any type
                let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers) as! [String:AnyObject]
                // Access specific key with value of type String
                let str = json["key"] as! String
            } catch {
                // Something went wrong
            }
        }
    }).resume()
}

Is it possible to make the function requestJson() return the JSON file when its loaded? Or it's not possible because it's loaded asynchronously and could not be ready? Want I'm trying to do is something like following:

requestJson() -> **[String : AnyObject]**{
    // Asynchronous Http call to your api url, using NSURLSession:
    NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(NSURL(string: "http://api.site.com/json")!, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
        // Check if data was received successfully
        if error == nil && data != nil {
            do {
                // Convert NSData to Dictionary where keys are of type String, and values are of any type
                let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers) as! [String:AnyObject]
                // Access specific key with value of type String
                **return json**
            } catch {
                // Something went wrong
            }
        }
    }).resume()
}

You can give the function params an @escaping callback returning an array or whatever you need;

An example of this for a network request;

class func getGenres(completionHandler: @escaping (genres: NSArray) -> ()) {
...
let task = session.dataTask(with:url) {
    data, response, error in
    ...
    resultsArray = results
    completionHandler(genres: resultsArray)
}
...
task.resume()
}

Then to call it you could do something like this;

override func viewDidLoad() {
    getGenres {
        genres in
        print("View Controller: \(genres)")     
    }
}

//MARK: Request method to get json

class func requestJSON(completion: @escaping (returnModel: String?) -> Void) {
           //here you write code for calling API
  }

//MARK: Calling function to retrieve return string

API.requestJSON(completion: { (string) in
       //here you can get your string 
    })

func httpGet(request: NSURLRequest!, callback: (NSString, NSString?) -> Void)
{
var session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
var task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request){
    (data, response, error) -> Void in
    if error != nil {
        callback("", error.localizedDescription)
    } else {
        var result = NSString(data: data, encoding:
            NSASCIIStringEncoding)!
        callback(result, nil)
    }
}
task.resume()

}

func makeRequest(callback: (NSString) ->Void) -> Void {

var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://sample_url")!)

 var result:NSString = ""


httpGet(request){
    (data, error) ->  Void in

    if error != nil {
        result = error!
    } else {
        result = data
    }


    callback(data)
}

}

Usage:-

 self.makeRequest(){
     (data) ->  Void in
    println("response data:\(data)")

}
