We can use that text to access the various data members and create our instance of a music object to populate all of it's properties. We can also use the JSONSerialization class to get an object based on that data. We've seen in our debug console that in a case of accessing multiple objects from the server we get back an array. Or for one object, we get back a dictionary. So the JSONSerialization parsing also can return back an array or a dictionary depending on the data being passed down. From that data that we parse, we can then create our object and set all the properties. So back in our project, we're now going to use the JSONSerialization object to parse the JSON we received back. So once we have the data, we're going to parse it and add this on line 21 to do so. We're going to say, if let…
