Parsing nested Array of Dictionaries using Object Mapper

Question

I am parsing a web api response which is an array of dictionaries. Each dictionary in turn has a nested array of dictionaries. How do i parse it? Pl provide with some code s

Answer 1

Objectmapper handles nested objects as long as they conform to Mappable:

    import UIKit
    import ObjectMapper

    class ReturnModel: Mappable
    {
    var FilingStatusId : Int = 0
    var FormName : String = ""
    var OrderId : String = ""
    var RecipientList:[RecipientModel] = []

    required init?(map: Map) {

    }

    func mapping(map: Map)
    {
        FilingStatusId <- map["FilingStatusId"]
        FormName <- map["FormName"]
        OrderId <- map["OrderId"]
        RecipientList <- map["RecipientList"]
    }
    }

Answer 2

Your first model will represent outer array. And second will represent inner array. Here is a sample

 import Foundation
 import ObjectMapper


// RecipientModel is an array itself
class RecipientModel: Mappable {

var filingStatusId:Int
var orderId: Int
var formName: String
var recipientList: [RecipientList]

required init?(_ map: Map) {

    filingStatusId = 0
    orderId = 0
    formName = ""
    recipientList = []
}

func mapping(map: Map) {

    filingStatusId      <- map["FilingStatusId"]
    orderId             <- map["OrderId"]
    formName            <- map["FormName"]
    recipientList       <- map["RecipientList"]
}
}

And now you will create another model for your RecipientList

class RecipientList: Mappable {


var filingStatusId:Int
var formId: Int
var formName: String

required init?(_ map: Map) {

    filingStatusId = 0
    formId = 0
    formName = ""
}

func mapping(map: Map) {

    filingStatusId      <- map["FilingStatusId"]
    formId              <- map["FormId"]
    formName            <- map["FormName"]
}
}
