Alamofire strange JSON prefix - Swift 2.0

Question

Im trying to get a JSON file from an API, but Alamofire (branch: Swift 2.0) returns the file with a strange prefix (Alamofire.Result.Success). I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but im new to alamofire. How can I just get a NORMAL file that I can use with SwiftyJSON.

My code:

func getText (image: UIImage){

    let url = "https://api.idolondemand.com/1/api/sync/ocrdocument/v1"
    let apiKey = "xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx"
    let mode = "document_photo"
    let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)

    Alamofire.upload(
        .POST,
        url,
        multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
            multipartFormData.appendBodyPart(
                data: apiKey.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!,
                name: "apikey"
            )
            multipartFormData.appendBodyPart(
                data: mode.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!,
                name: "mode"
            )
            multipartFormData.appendBodyPart(data: imageData!, name: "file",fileName: "image.png", mimeType: "image/png")
        },
        encodingCompletion: { encodingResult in
            switch encodingResult {
            case .Success(let upload, _, _):
                upload.responseJSON  { _, _, json in

                        print(JSON)

                }
            case .Failure(let encodingError):
                print(encodingError)
            }
        }
    )
}

Output from print(JSON):

Alamofire.Result<Swift.AnyObject>.Success([text_block: (
        {
        height = 127;
        left = 0;
        text = "\U2022 response()\n\U2022 responseString(encoding: NSStringEncoding)\n\U2022 responseJSON(options: NSJS0NReading0ptions)\n\U2022 responsePropertyList(options: NSPropertyListRead0ptions)";
        top = 0;
        width = 487;
    }
)])

Answer 1

In the closure argument for your call to upload.responseJSON(_:completionHandler:), the parameter you've given the name json is being passed as an Alamofire Result Enumeration (see source).

You should be able to get at the associated data for that enum by accessing its value property, like so:

upload.responseJSON  { _, _, json in
  print(json.value!)
}

Additionally, check out SwiftyJSON when you get a chance (a popular library for handling JSON in Swift).
