JSON Example
{
"first": "John",
"last": "Smith",
"age": 35,
"employeed": true,
"hobbies": [
"fishing",
"bowling",
"programming"
],
"relatives": {
"mother": "Susan",
"father": "Eric",
"siblings": null
}
}
Here is a simple mapping JSON types to Swift types(JSON –> Swift)
null ==> nil
Number ==> Int, Float, Double
String ==> Bool
Array ==> [AnyObject]
Object ==> [String:AnyObject]
guard let arrayOfPhotoDictionaries = photosDictionary["photo"] as? [[String:AnyObject]] else {
print("Cannot find key 'photo' in \(photosDictionary)")
return
}
for (index, photo) in arrayOfPhotoDictionaries.enumerated(){
print("\(index):\(photo)")
}
let rarities = ["Free", "Common"]
for rarity in rarities {
numCostForRarityItemsDictionary[rarity] = 0
sumCostForRarityDictionary[rarity] = 0
}
guard let rarityForCard = cardDictionary["rarity"] as? String else {
print("Cannot find key 'rarityForCard' in \(cardDictionary)")
return
}
numCostForRarityItemsDictionary[rarityForCard]! += 1
sumCostForRarityDictionary[rarityForCard]! += manaCost
guard let arrayOfBasicSetCardDictionaries = parsedHearthstoneJSON["Basic"] as? [[String:AnyObject]] else {
print("cannot find key 'basic" in \(parsedHearthstoneJSON)")
return
}
Parsing JSON
keyX, valueX: numbers, array, even dictionary
Parsing JSON
1. get the raw JSON data
2. parse the JSON data into a funcation object
3. grab the data from the foundation object
if let photosDictionary =
parseResult[Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.Photos] as? [String:
AnyObject],
photoArray = photosDictonary[Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.Photo] as?
[String:AnyObject]{
let randomPhotoIndex = Int(ar:4random_uniform(UInt32(photoArray.count)))
}
private func getImageFromFlickr(){
let methodParameters = [
Constants.FlickrParameterKeys.Method: Constants.FlickrParameterValues.GalleryPhotosMethod,
Constants.FlickrParameterKeys.APIKey: Constants.FlickrParameterValues.APIKey,
Constants.FlickrParameterKeys.GalleryID: Constants.FlickrParameterValues.GalleryID,
Constants.FlickrParameterKeys.Extras: Constants.FlickrParameterValues.MediumURL,
Constants.FlickrParameterKeys.Format: Constants.FlickrParameterValues.ResponseFormat,
Constants.FlickrParameterKeys.NoJSONCallback: Constants.FlickrParameterValues.DisableJSONCallback
]
let session = URLSession.shared
lel urlString = Constants.Flickr.APIBaseURL + escapedParameters(methodParameters as [String:AnyObject])
let url = URL(string: urlString)!
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request){ (data, response, error) in
func displayError(_ error: String){
print(error)
print("URL at time of error: \(url)")
performUIUpdatesOnMain{
self.setUIEnabled(true)
}
guard(error == nil) else {
displayError("There was an error with your request: \(error)")
return
}
guard let statusCode = (response as? HTTPURLResponse)?.statusCode, statusCode
displayError("Your request returned a status code other than 2xx!")
return
}
guard let data = data else {
displayError("No data was returned by the request!")
return
}
let parsedResult: [String:AnyObject]!
do {
parsedResult = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .allowFragments) as! [String:AnyObject])
} catch {
displayError("Could not parse the data as JSON:'\(data)'")
return
}
guard let stat = parsedResult[Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.Status] as ? String, stat == Constants.FlickrResponseValues.OKStatus else {
displayError("Cannot find keys '\(Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.Photos)'")
return
}
let randomPhotoIndex = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(photoArray.count)))
let photoDictionary = photoArray[randomPhotoIndex] as [String:AnyObject]
let photoIitle = photoDictionary[Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.Title]as? String
guard let imageUrlString = photoDictionary[Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.MediumURL] as? String else {
displayError("Cannot find key '\(Constants.FlickrResponseKeys.MediumURL)' in \(photoDictionary)")
return
}
let imageURL = URL(string: imageUrlString)
if let imageData = try? Data(contentsOf: imageURL!){
performUIUpdatesOnMain {
self.setUIEnabled(true)
self.photoImageView.image = UIImage(data: imageDAta)
self.photoTitleLabel.text = photoTitle ?? "(Untitled)"
}
} else {
displayError("Image does not exist at \(imageURL)")
}
task.resume()
Basics of Serialization
if let data = data {
let parsedResult: AnyObject!
do {
parsedResult = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: AllowFraments)
} catch {
displayError("could not parse the data as JSON: '\(data)'")
return
}
}
Making a request
let urlString = constant.Flickr.APIBaseURL + escapeParameters(methodParameters)
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)!
let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request){
(data, response, error) in
if error == nil {
print(data)
}
}
Escaping Parameters
private func escapedParameters(parameters: [String:]) -> String {
if parameters.isEmpty {
return ""
} else {
var keyValuePairs = [String]()
for(key, value) in parameters {
let stringVavlue "\(value)"
let escapeValue = stringValue.
stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(NSCharacterSet.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())
keyValuePairs.append(key + "=" + "\(escapedValue!)")
}
return "?\(keyValuePairs.joinWithSeparator("&"))"
}
}
let someParameters = [ "course": "networking", "hogehoge":"ios", "quiz":"escaping parameters" ] print(escapedParameters(someParameters))

GET Request
client – Server
Understanding New Concepts
GET request: An HTTP request where a client requests a specified resource from a server.
HTTP method: Another term for the type of HTTP request.
URL: Specifies a location for retrieving data over the network.
Status code: A number returned in response to an HTTP request that indicates the results of the request.
Client: The role that an iPhone play if it is accessing data from the network(ex. downloading images from Facebook)
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
override func viewDidLoad(){
super.viewDidLoad()
let imageURL = NSURL(string: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Cat_November_2010-1a.jpg");
NSURLSession.sharedSession()
