how to send JSON in post api using Alomofire SWIFT - iphone

Question

I need to send JSON format in post api using alamofire in swift. Way data need to send is
{
"data": [{
"id": "1015683997",
"name": "Pawel"
}, {
"id": "108350039247",
"name": "Randeep"
}, {
"id": "115607797616",
"name": "Mohit"
}]
}
And way i am able to generate as of now is:
["data": {
data = (
{
id = 101583997;
name = "Pawel";
},
{
id = 108359247;
name = "Randeep";
},
{
id = 11567616;
name = "Mohit ";
}
);
}
]
Using the below mentioned way to generate json format.
for i in 0..<self.arrFriendsList.count
{
let dictFrndList:[String: AnyObject] = [
"id" : arrFriendsList[i].valueForKey("id")!,"name" : arrFriendsList[i].valueForKey("name")!
]
arrFrndList.addObject(dictFrndList)
}
Then,
let dictFBFrndList: [String: AnyObject] = [
"data":arrFrndList
]
Then,
let params: [String: AnyObject] = [
"access_token" : accessToken,
"data":dictFBFriends
]
So, please guide me. i have already spend more than a day on it. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I second what Larme said, you should post "arrFrndList" at the params with key "data" but not dictFBFrndList.

Answer 2

Managed this way
let jsonData = try! NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(arrFriendsList, options: NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)
let jsonString = NSString(data: jsonData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)! as String
print(jsonString)
let params: [String: AnyObject] = [
"access_token" : accessToken,
"data":jsonString
]

Answer 3

let options = NSJSONWritingOptions()
let data = try? NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(parameters, options: options)
let mutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string:"http:/myurl.com")
if let str = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as? String {
print(str)
}
mutableURLRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
mutableURLRequest.setValue("your_access_token", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
mutableURLRequest.HTTPBody = data
mutableURLRequest.HTTPMethod = "POST"
Alamofire.request(mutableURLRequest).responseJSON(){
json in
if let value = json.result.value {
let _json = JSON(value)
if (!_json.isEmpty){
print(_json)
}
}
}
you can check how to seen your JSON array this code. Look at 5th cell code. This code will write your json array for you in output screen and you can coppy from there and paste in here then you will see how to send data.
Maybe this way can help you .
