what is the right syntax for a json file?

Question

I wish to populate various collection views and table views with data from a json file. However I do not know how to write that JSON file.

here is the data I wish to populate:

• 2 sectors : "data" and "developers"
• each sector contains a number of items:

for "data" :

• "Data Scientist",
• "Business Intelligence Analyst (BIA)",
• "Database Developer",
• "Database Administrator",
• "Data Engineer",
• "Data Analytics Manager",
• "Data Security Administrator"

for "developer":

• "APL",
• "BASIC",
• "Eiffel",
• "Frink",
• "Lisp",
• "Pascal",
• "Python",
• "Ruby",
• "S-Lang"

How would I need to organize the data so I can later retrieve them ?

Answer 1

To translate the JSON to sections I'd recommend an array

[
    {"title":"data",
     "items":["Data Scientist","Business Intelligence Analyst (BIA)","Database Developer","Database Administrator","Data Engineer","Data Analytics Manager","Data Security Administrator"]
    },
    {"title":"developer",
     "items":["APL","BASIC","Eiffel","Frink","Lisp","Pascal","Python","Ruby","S-Lang"]
    }
]

and decode it to

struct Section : Decodable {
   let title : String
   let items : [String]
}

It's the most suitable structure for a table/collection view data source
