Starscream: Can i send json on websocket

[mithunsree]

i need to send a json string over websocket to get correct response from server. now i created the json and when i try to send it with "socket.write(string: json)" and "socket.write(data: json)" it shows JSON has no member data/string. I am using SwiftyJson to create json.

Yes you can send JSON, binary or any encoding you want over a WebSocket. I assume this is an issue with your implementation, but without a code example of your issue, there isn't much help we can provide.

You can use JSONSerialization to serialize an object into binary JSON data.

    func send(_ value: Any, onSuccess: @escaping ()-> Void) {

        guard JSONSerialization.isValidJSONObject(value) else {
            print("[WEBSOCKET] Value is not a valid JSON object.\n \(value)")
            return
        }

        do {
            let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: value, options: [])
            socket.write(data: data) {
                onSuccess()
            }
        } catch let error {
            print("[WEBSOCKET] Error serializing JSON:\n\(error)")
        }
    }
