Convert array to JSON string in swift

by

As it stands you’re converting it to data, then attempting to convert the data to to an object as JSON (which fails, it’s not JSON) and converting that to a string, basically you have a bunch of meaningless transformations.

As long as the array contains only JSON encodable values (string, number, dictionary, array, nil) you can just use NSJSONSerialization to do it.

Instead just do the array->data->string parts:

Swift 3/4

let array = [ "one", "two" ]

func json(from object:Any) -> String? {
    guard let data = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: object, options: []) else {
        return nil
    }
    return String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
}

print("\(json(from:array as Any))")

Original Answer

let array = [ "one", "two" ]
let data = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(array, options: nil, error: nil)
let string = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

although you should probably not use forced unwrapping, it gives you the right starting point.
