How to Convert an Array of SwiftyJSON objects to a SwiftyJSON object?

Question

I have :-

var myArray:Array = array<JSON>

I want :-

var myJSON:JSON = myArray as? JSON

but i get a warning:- Cast from 'Array' to unrelated type 'JSON' always fails

Can anyone help me how to convert an Array object to a JSON object?

A little more insight what i am trying to do:- (This might not be needed to answer my above question but still...) Note:- I am using objectMapper for mapping swiftyJSONObjects.

var monthArray = Array<JSON>
var allEventsInDayArray:Array<JSON> = [] // an empty array
        for (_,dayObj) in monthArray
        {
            guard let dayEventsArray = dayObj["events"].array else { break   }

        allEventsInDayArray.appendContentsOf(dayEventsArray)
    }

    print(allEventsInDayArray)
    var allEventsJSON:JSON? = JSON(allEventsInDayArray)
    var EventModelArray:Array<EventModel>? = Mapper<EventModel>().mapArray(allEventsJSON?.object.allValues)

You can't make an orange into an apple just with downcasting. Please explain what you want to achieve - maybe there's a better way to do it... ;) — Eric Aya

i agree @Eric D. i Just want an apple can you tell me how can i get it. I dont have an orange but an array of apples ;) Forget about downcasting, i just want to convert an array of Swifty JSON Objects to a SwiftyJSON object. — Ashish P

Hehe, thanks for answering. :) So indeed we don't care about downcasting here. Unfortunately I don't see how to do this. I will answer if I find out. // May I ask why you want this, though? Maybe you have an X/Y problem that could be resolved in a different way, that's also what I meant earlier. — Eric Aya

If I understood your question and you want to create a SwiftyJSON object from an array you should do like this:

var myJSON:JSON = JSON(myArray)
