Load a JSON Array

See more JSON Examples

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. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // 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(value: "{\"array\":")
    sbJson.append(value: jsonArrayStr)
    sbJson.append(value: "}")

    let json = CkoJsonObject()!
    json.load(json: sbJson.getAsString())

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

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

    jArray = nil
