NetworkOperation.swift > "Extra Argument 'error' in call" with NSJSONSerialization

I'm getting the error message "Extra argument 'error' in call" with the line.... "let jsonDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: nil, error: nil) as? [String: AnyObject]"

After looking around I found the answer....thus, change the code to look like this as shown below... " let jsonDictionary = try!NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as? [String: AnyObject] completion(jsonDictionary)"

Hope this helps!

import Foundation

class NetworkOperation {

    lazy var config: NSURLSessionConfiguration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
    lazy var session: NSURLSession = NSURLSession(configuration: self.config)
    let queryURL: NSURL

    typealias JSONDictionaryCompletion = ([String: AnyObject]? -> Void)

    init(url: NSURL) {
        self.queryURL = url
    }

    func downloadJSONFromURL(completion: JSONDictionaryCompletion) {

        let request = NSURLRequest(URL: queryURL)
        let dataTask = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
            (let data, let response, let error) in

            // 1. Check HTTP response for successful GET request
            if let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse {
                switch httpResponse.statusCode {
                case 200:
                    // 2. Create JSON object with data
                    let jsonDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: nil, error: nil) as? [String: AnyObject]
                    completion(jsonDictionary)
                default:
                    print("GET request not successful. HTTP status code: \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
                }
            } else {
                print("Error: Not a valid HTTP response")
            }
        }

        dataTask.resume()
    }
}

Your code looks good so far, just one thing you have to change:

let jsonDictionary = try! NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as? [String: AnyObject]

Of course you should rather do:

do {
let jsonDictionary = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as? [String: AnyObject]
} catch {
//Handle the error
}
