How do I get a plist as a Dictionary in Swift?

by

You can still use NSDictionaries in Swift:

For Swift 4

 var nsDictionary: NSDictionary?
 if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Config", ofType: "plist") {
    nsDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
 }

For Swift 3+

if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Config", ofType: "plist"),
   let myDict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path){
    // Use your myDict here
}

And older versions of Swift

var myDict: NSDictionary?
if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Config", ofType: "plist") {
    myDict = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
}
if let dict = myDict {
    // Use your dict here
}

The NSClasses are still available and perfectly fine to use in Swift. I think they’ll probably want to shift focus to swift soon, but currently the swift APIs don’t have all the functionality of the core NSClasses.
