(Swift 2) Load a JSON Array

The Chilkat JSON API requires the top-level JSON to be an object. Therefore, to load an array requires that it first be wrapped as an object.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool

    // Imagine we want to load this JSON array for parsing:
    var jsonArrayStr: String? = "[{\"id\":200},{\"id\":196}]"

    // First wrap it in a JSON object by prepending "{ "array":" and appending "}"
    let sbJson = CkoStringBuilder()
    sbJson.Append("{\"array\":")
    sbJson.Append(jsonArrayStr)
    sbJson.Append("}")

    let json = CkoJsonObject()
    json.Load(sbJson.GetAsString())

    // Now we can get the JSON array
    var jArray: CkoJsonArray? = json.ArrayAt(0)

    // Do what you want with the JSON array...
    // For example:
    var jObjId: CkoJsonObject? = jArray!.ObjectAt(0)
    print("\(jObjId!.IntOf("id").intValue)")
    jObjId = nil

    jArray = nil
