In PHP, you can generate JSON data using the json_encode function, and in Swift (iOS/macOS), you can parse it using JSONSerialization or Codable depending on your needs.

Here's an example of generating JSON in PHP and parsing it using NSJSONSerialization in Swift

PHP (Generate JSON):

 'John Doe',
    'age' => 25,
    'city' => 'New York',
    'is_student' => true
);

// Encode data to JSON
$jsonData = json_encode($data);

// Output JSON
echo $jsonData;
?>

In this PHP script, the json_encode function is used to convert the PHP associative array into a JSON string.

Swift (Parse JSON using NSJSONSerialization):

import Foundation

// Sample JSON data as a string
let jsonString = """
{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "age": 25,
    "city": "New York",
    "is_student": true
}
"""

// Convert JSON string to Data
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8) {
    do {
        // Parse JSON data using NSJSONSerialization
        if let jsonObject = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: jsonData, options: []) as? [String: Any] {
            // Access parsed JSON data
            let name = jsonObject["name"] as? String ?? ""
            let age = jsonObject["age"] as? Int ?? 0
            let city = jsonObject["city"] as? String ?? ""
            let isStudent = jsonObject["is_student"] as? Bool ?? false

            // Print parsed data
            print("Name: \(name)")
            print("Age: \(age)")
            print("City: \(city)")
            print("Is Student: \(isStudent)")
        }
    } catch {
        print("Error parsing JSON: \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
}

In this Swift code, the JSONSerialization class is used to parse the JSON string (converted to Data) into a Swift dictionary ([String: Any]). You can then access individual values from the parsed JSON data.

Note: Ensure that the JSON structure in your PHP script and Swift code aligns, and handle errors appropriately during parsing. Additionally, consider using Codable in Swift for a more convenient way to work with JSON data if your data structure matches your Swift model.

If Selenium is not working with Chrome, there are several common issues and solutions you can explore to resolve the problem. Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

1. Check ChromeDriver Version:

   • Ensure that your ChromeDriver version is compatible with the version of Chrome installed on your machine. You can download the latest ChromeDriver from the official site.

2. Update Chrome:

   • Make sure you are using the latest version of the Chrome browser. Selenium and ChromeDriver are often updated to match the latest browser releases.

3. Update Selenium WebDriver:

   • Ensure you have the latest version of the Selenium WebDriver library installed. You can update it using:

pip install --upgrade selenium

• Check ChromeDriver Path:

  • Verify that the path to ChromeDriver is correct in your script. Set the path using webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver').

• Path Configuration:

  • Ensure that the ChromeDriver executable is in a directory listed in the system's PATH environment variable. Alternatively, provide the full path when instantiating the webdriver.Chrome() instance.

• Headless Mode:

  • If you are using headless mode (--headless), try running without it to see if the issue persists.

• ChromeOptions Configuration:

  • Review your ChromeOptions configuration. Sometimes, specific options or arguments can cause compatibility issues.

• Firewall/Antivirus:

  • Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking Chrome or ChromeDriver. Temporarily disable these to test if they are causing the issue.

• Logs and Error Messages:

  • Check the console logs and error messages for any hints on what might be causing the problem. Selenium may provide useful information in the console output.

• Browser Window Size:

  • In headless mode, setting an appropriate window size might help. Add the following option to your ChromeOptions:

chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")

11. Reinstall ChromeDriver:

    • Consider reinstalling ChromeDriver by downloading the latest version and replacing the existing executable.

12. Browser Profiles:

    • If you are using a browser profile, try without it to see if the profile is causing the issue.

13. Browser Settings:

    • Some browser settings or extensions might interfere with Selenium. Test with a clean browser profile or disable extensions to isolate the issue.

14. Check for Chrome Updates:

    • Ensure that your operating system and Chrome browser are up to date. Sometimes, compatibility issues arise due to outdated software.

15. Run in Non-Headless Mode:

    • If you are running your script in headless mode, try running it in non-headless mode to see if the issue persists.

16. Check for Proxy Settings:

    • If you are behind a proxy, ensure that your proxy settings are configured correctly, or try running the script without a proxy.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may need to investigate further based on specific error messages or behavior. Additionally, checking the Selenium and ChromeDriver documentation for the respective versions you are using can provide valuable insights.

The easiest way to set up a home proxy server is to install a router that supports this function. Then get the proxy data (provided by the service in which it is "rented") and enter it in the router settings. If there is no need for a common proxy (for all devices at once), then it should be configured separately for each device with the help of the utilities integrated in the OS for changing the connection properties.

Not all routers support proxies, this nuance should be clarified with the manufacturer. But many of the routers from Asus, TP-Link, Xiaomi work well with this type of connection. All this is configured through the web interface. By the way, for some routers, custom Padavan firmware is also available. The proxy works best there, especially in the presence of the OpenVPN plugin.

On smartphones, when a proxy is turned on, the corresponding indicator (the "VPN" icon) appears in the status bar. In Windows you have to go to "Settings", open "Network and Internet". Under "Proxy Server", if the item "Manual" is activated, it means that the proxy is engaged right now.
