Swift Example

func chilkatTest() {
    let rest = CkoRest()
    var success: Bool

    //  URL: https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/SCRUM-13
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var port: Int = 443
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.Connect("your-domain.atlassian.net", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        print("ConnectFailReason: \(rest.ConnectFailReason.intValue)")
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    rest.SetAuthBasic("jira@example.com", password: "JIRA_API_TOKEN")

    rest.AddHeader("Accept", value: "application/json")

    let sbResponseBody = CkoStringBuilder()
    success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("DELETE", uriPath: "/rest/api/2/issue/SCRUM-13", sb: sbResponseBody)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    var respStatusCode: Int = rest.ResponseStatusCode.intValue
    if respStatusCode >= 400 {
        print("Response Status Code = \(respStatusCode)")
        print("Response Header:")
        print("\(rest.ResponseHeader)")
        print("Response Body:")
        print("\(sbResponseBody.GetAsString())")
        return
    }

    let jsonResponse = CkoJsonObject()
    jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody)

    var i: Int
    var count_i: Int
    var strVal: String?

    i = 0
    count_i = jsonResponse.SizeOfArray("errorMessages").intValue
    while i < count_i {
        jsonResponse.I = i
        strVal = jsonResponse.StringOf("errorMessages[i]")
        i = i + 1
    }


}
