JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: jsonData, options: [.allowFragments])\n\nguard\n let jsonDictionary = jsonObject as? [String: Any],\n let dataDictionary = jsonDictionary[\"data\"] as? [String: Any],\n let memesArray = dataDictionary[\"memes\"] as? [[String: Any]],\n let firstMeme = memesArray.first,\n let memeName = firstMeme[\"name\"] as? String else {\n\n fatalError()\n}\n\nprint(memeName)\n```\n\nWith JSONNode this becomes the following:\n\n```Swift\nvar jsonNode = try! JSONNode(data: jsonData)\nguard let name = jsonNode[\"data\"][\"memes\"][0][\"name\"].string else { fatalError() }\n\nprint(name)\n```\n\n## How it works\n\nTypically when JSON is deserialised, it is turned into nested arrays and dictionary, and since these collections need a type and the JSON could contain any of multiple types, the non-specific `Any` protocol is used.\n\nThis is not a true representation of the situation though. There can't be \"anything\" in the collection. Each node in the JSON structure can only be one of the following:\n- String\n- Boolean\n- Integer\n- Floating point number\n- Array containing something in this list\n- Dictionary with a string key and value as something in this list\n\nWith this finite list of possible values for a JSON node, a enum is the best way to represent that. Inspiration was taken from the way that Swift Playgrounds passes information been the playground page and the live view.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Swift 3\n- Xcode 8\n\n## Integration\n\n#### CocoaPods\n\nYou can use [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org/) to install `JSONNode`by adding it to your `Podfile`:\n\n```ruby\nplatform :ios, '8.0'\nuse_frameworks!\n\ntarget 'MyApp' do\npod 'JSONNode'\nend\n```\n\nNote that this requires CocoaPods version 36, and your iOS deployment target to be at least 8.0:\n\n\n#### Manually (iOS 8+, OS X 10.9+)\n\nTo use this library in your project manually you may:\n\n1. for Projects, just drag JSONNode.swift to the project tree\n2. for Workspaces, include the whole JSONNode.xcodeproj", |
