这取决于用例。但是让我们假设您想要对“变量”类型做一些有用的事情。Swift switch语句非常强大，可以帮助你得到你想要的结果…

    let dd2 = ["x" : 9, "y" : "home9"]
    let dds = dd2.filter {
        let eIndex = "x"
        let eValue:Any = 9
        var r = false

        switch eValue {
        case let testString as String:
            r = $1 == testString
        case let testUInt as UInt:
            r = $1 == testUInt
        case let testInt as Int:
            r = $1 == testInt
        default:
            r = false
        }

        return r && $0 == eIndex
    }

在这种情况下，有一个简单的字典，其中包含键/值对，可以是UInt, Int或String。在字典上的.filter()方法中，我需要确保正确地测试值，并且只在字符串时测试字符串，等等。switch语句使此操作简单而安全! 通过将9赋值给Any类型的变量，它将执行Int类型的转换。试着把它改成:

   let eValue:Any = "home9"

．．再试一次。这一次，它执行了as String的情况。

如果您只是需要检查变量是否属于X类型，或者它是否符合某种协议，那么您可以使用is或as?具体如下:

var unknownTypeVariable = …

if unknownTypeVariable is <ClassName> {
    //the variable is of type <ClassName>
} else {
    //variable is not of type <ClassName>
}

这相当于Obj-C中的isKindOfClass。

这等价于conformsToProtocol或isMemberOfClass

var unknownTypeVariable = …

if let myClass = unknownTypeVariable as? <ClassName or ProtocolName> {
    //unknownTypeVarible is of type <ClassName or ProtocolName>
} else {
    //unknownTypeVariable is not of type <ClassName or ProtocolName>
}

以下是我推荐的两种方法:

if let thisShape = aShape as? Square 

Or:

aShape.isKindOfClass(Square)

下面是一个详细的例子:

class Shape { }
class Square: Shape { } 
class Circle: Shape { }

var aShape = Shape()
aShape = Square()

if let thisShape = aShape as? Square {
    println("Its a square")
} else {
    println("Its not a square")
}

if aShape.isKindOfClass(Square) {
    println("Its a square")
} else {
    println("Its not a square")
}

从Xcode 6.0.1开始(至少，不确定他们什么时候添加的)，你原来的例子现在可以工作了:

class MyClass {
    var count = 0
}

let mc = MyClass()
mc.dynamicType === MyClass.self // returns `true`

更新:

要回答最初的问题，您实际上可以成功地将Objective-C运行时与普通Swift对象一起使用。

试试下面的方法:

import Foundation
class MyClass { }
class SubClass: MyClass { }

let mc = MyClass()
let m2 = SubClass()

// Both of these return .Some("__lldb_expr_35.SubClass"), which is the fully mangled class name from the playground
String.fromCString(class_getName(m2.dynamicType))
String.fromCString(object_getClassName(m2))
// Returns .Some("__lldb_expr_42.MyClass")
String.fromCString(object_getClassName(mc))

斯威夫特2.0:

进行这种类型内省的正确方法是使用Mirror结构体，

    let stringObject:String = "testing"
    let stringArrayObject:[String] = ["one", "two"]
    let viewObject = UIView()
    let anyObject:Any = "testing"

    let stringMirror = Mirror(reflecting: stringObject)
    let stringArrayMirror = Mirror(reflecting: stringArrayObject)
    let viewMirror = Mirror(reflecting: viewObject)
    let anyMirror = Mirror(reflecting: anyObject)

然后要从镜像结构体中访问类型本身，你可以像这样使用属性subjectType:

    // Prints "String"
    print(stringMirror.subjectType)

    // Prints "Array<String>"
    print(stringArrayMirror.subjectType)

    // Prints "UIView"
    print(viewMirror.subjectType)

    // Prints "String"
    print(anyMirror.subjectType)

然后你可以这样使用:

    if anyMirror.subjectType == String.self {
        print("anyObject is a string!")
    } else {
        print("anyObject is not a string!")
    }

斯威夫特3:

if unknownType is MyClass {
   //unknownType is of class type MyClass
}
