# DictionaryUtils

Dictionary utils allows you to use JSON like referencing to travers an object.

## Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run `pod install` from the Example directory first.

## Installation

DictionaryUtils is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install

it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

```swift

pod "DictionaryUtils"

```

## Usage

Lets say we define an aribitary dictionary that has an arrry within it. We ideally want to be able to access properties without referencing each child object, but in a more friendly fashion.

```swift

let data = ["data":["ary":[["value":1,"property1":"WELCOME"],["value":0,"property1":"WELCOME2"]]]]

```

We can find the property of a child by using the the following code

```swift

do {

    let output = try data.readString("data.ary[0].property1")

    print(output!)

}catch{

    print("ERROR")

}

```

This library will also let you do parameter based discovery within arrays like the below example:

```swift

do {

    let output = try data.readString("data.ary[value=0].property1")

    print(output!)

}catch{

    print("ERROR")

}

```
