How can I use swiftyJSON dictionaryValue as a usable string for a UILabel?-open source projects SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON

I have a makeRequest() method inside a UITableViewController with the following code:

    func makeRequest() {

    Alamofire.request(.GET, self.foursquareEndpointURL, parameters: [
        //"VENUE_ID" : self.foursquareVenueID,
            "client_id" : self.foursquareClientID,
            "client_secret" : self.foursquareClientSecret,
            "v" : "20140806"
            ])
        .responseJSON(options: nil) { (_, _, data, error) -> Void in
        if error != nil {
            println(error?.localizedDescription)
        } else if let data: AnyObject = data {
            let jObj = JSON(data)
            if let venue = jObj["response"]["venue"].dictionaryValue as [String: JSON]? {
                self.responseitems = jObj
                println("venue is: \(venue)")
            }
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                self.tableView.reloadData() // Update UI
            }
        }
    }
}

also keep in mind that I have a property var responseitems:JSON = []

println("venue is: \(venue)") prints a nice looking response to console, so I know that is working correctly…

I also have a custom UITableViewCell class with a bindData() method with the following code:

func bindData() {
    println("VenueDetailHeaderCell data did set")
    self.venueDetailTitleLabel.text = self.headerInfo?["name"].stringValue
    let labelData = self.headerInfo?["name"].stringValue
    println("labelData is: \(labelData)")
}

As you can see, I am attempting to set a UILabel’s text to the [“name”].stringValue in the JSON response. However, when I println("labelData is: \(labelData)") I get console output of labelData is: Optional(“”) which is obviously empty.

Here’s a screenshot of what I’m trying to grab

What am I doing wrong here and how can I grab the name of the venue and assign my UILabel to it?

UPDATE:

I tried the following code

let labelData = self.headerInfo?["name"].error
    println("labelData is: \(labelData)")

And get a console output of: “Error Domain=SwiftyJSONErrorDomain Code=901 “Array[0] failure, It is not an array” UserInfo=0x7fd6d9f7dc10 {NSLocalizedDescription=Array[0] failure, It is not an array}” If that is of use to anyone. I am really confused here… Any ideas?
