How to use .count

[pketh]

Hi,
I'm using SwiftyJSON in a project where I'm using

println(boardsJSON["boards"])

to return the following JSON

[
  {
    "idOrganization":null,
    "id":"5325aa22252e6dbe7bc6bf24",
    "pinned":true,
    "name":"Space Tiger",
    "closed":false
  },
  {
    "idOrganization":null,
    "id":"53a6dd5e29abc0630ab317fa",
    "pinned":true,
    "name":"Work Stuff",
    "closed":false
  }
]

I can dive down the tree using something like

println(boardsJSON["boards"][0]["name"])

But if I wanted to iterate over all the names in my JSON how would I get the count of objects in the array?

You can use the .array property to cast a JSONValue in to an Array.
And the .string property can cast a JSONValue in to String

if let boardsArray = boardsJSON["boards"]{
  let countOfArray = boardsArray.count //Here you got your count
}
//If you are sure about the stability of your data struct, you can also use:
for board in boardsJSON["boards"].array!{
  let name = board["name"].string!
}

Hope this help.

Is there a way to have it support Array(obj) for conversion?
