Retrieve Parse Array of Objects in Swift

Question

I'm storying an array of JavaScript key/value objects in a column of type Array on Parse like this:

[{"1432747073241":1.1},{"1432142558000":3.7}]

When I retrieve that column in Swift, I can see the data, but I'm unsure what data type to cast it as:

if let data = dashboardObject[graphColumn] as? [AnyObject]{  
  for pair in data{
    println(pair)
  }
}

That print yields this in the console (for the first pair):

{
  1432747073241 = "1.1";
}

I can't seem to cast its contents as a Dictionary [Int:Double] and I'm guessing that means this is a string.

How do I parse this data in Swift? Thanks.

The Dictionary you should parse it to is [String: AnyObject]. It seems as if the keys of this dictionary are timestamps which you probably don't know. You could iterate through the dictionary like this: for (key, value) in pair { } — ezcoding

for (key, value) in pair {
  // do what you want in here with the value and/or the key 
}
