an app that pulls content from a blog website in swift

To pull content from a blog website in Swift, you can use URLSession, which provides an API for downloading content from the web.

  1. First, create a URL from the blog website's address:
main.swift
guard let url = URL(string: "https://example.com/blog.json") else {
   return
}

4 lines
  1. Use URLSession to create a data task to download the content. In this example, we'll download JSON content:
main.swift
let session = URLSession.shared

let task = session.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
    if let error = error {
        print("Error: \(error)")
        return
    }

    guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
          httpResponse.statusCode == 200,
          let jsonData = data else {
        print("Invalid response")
        return
    }

    do {
        let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: jsonData, options: [])
        // Process the JSON here
    } catch {
        print("Error processing JSON: \(error)")
    }
}

task.resume()

25 lines
  1. Process the JSON data in the completion handler. In this example, we'll assume the JSON contains an array of blog posts:
main.swift
do {
    let posts = try JSONDecoder().decode([Post].self, from: jsonData)
    // Process the array of posts here
} catch {
    print("Error decoding JSON: \(error)")
}

struct Post: Codable {
    var title: String
    var content: String
    // Add other properties as needed
}
279 chars
13 lines

This code will download the blog content and parse it into a Swift object. From there, you can display the content in your app's user interface.
