Class: JSONSerialization

An object that converts between JSON and the equivalent Foundation objects.

 

Declaration

class JSONSerialization : NSObject

Overview

You use the JSONSerialization class to convert JSON to Foundation objects and convert Foundation objects to JSON.

A Foundation object that may be converted to JSON must have the following properties:

• The top level object is an NSArray or NSDictionary.

• All objects are instances of NSString, NSNumber, NSArray, NSDictionary, or NSNull.

• All dictionary keys are instances of NSString.

• Numbers are not NaN or infinity.

Other rules may apply. Calling isValidJSONObject(_:) or attempting a conversion are the definitive ways to tell if a given object can be converted to JSON data.
