你的假设是错误的。只是因为调试器/Playground用方括号显示你的字典(这是Cocoa显示字典的方式)，这并不意味着这是JSON输出格式化的方式。

下面是将字符串字典转换为JSON的示例代码:

Swift 3版本:

import Foundation

let dictionary = ["aKey": "aValue", "anotherKey": "anotherValue"]
if let theJSONData = try? JSONSerialization.data(
    withJSONObject: dictionary,
    options: []) {
    let theJSONText = String(data: theJSONData,
                               encoding: .ascii)
    print("JSON string = \(theJSONText!)")
}

要以“漂亮打印”的格式显示上面的内容，你可以将选项行更改为:

    options: [.prettyPrinted]

或者在Swift 2语法中:

import Foundation
 
let dictionary = ["aKey": "aValue", "anotherKey": "anotherValue"]
let theJSONData = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(
  dictionary ,
  options: NSJSONWritingOptions(0),
  error: nil)
let theJSONText = NSString(data: theJSONData!,
  encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding)
println("JSON string = \(theJSONText!)")

它的输出是

"JSON string = {"anotherKey":"anotherValue","aKey":"aValue"}"

或者用漂亮的格式:

{
  "anotherKey" : "anotherValue",
  "aKey" : "aValue"
}

正如您所期望的那样，在JSON输出中，字典用花括号括起来。

编辑:

在Swift 3/4语法中，上面的代码看起来像这样:

  let dictionary = ["aKey": "aValue", "anotherKey": "anotherValue"]
    if let theJSONData = try?  JSONSerialization.data(
      withJSONObject: dictionary,
      options: .prettyPrinted
      ),
      let theJSONText = String(data: theJSONData,
                               encoding: String.Encoding.ascii) {
          print("JSON string = \n\(theJSONText)")
    }
  }

private func convertDictToJson(dict : NSDictionary) -> NSDictionary?
{
    var jsonDict : NSDictionary!

    do {
        let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject:dict, options:[])
        let jsonDataString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)!
        print("Post Request Params : \(jsonDataString)")
        jsonDict = [ParameterKey : jsonDataString]
        return jsonDict
    } catch {
        print("JSON serialization failed:  \(error)")
        jsonDict = nil
    }
    return jsonDict
}

2022年，swift 5

扩展的使用:

编码:

if let json = statisticsDict.asJSONStr() {
     //your action with json
}

从字典解码:

json.decodeFromJson(type: [String:AppStat].self)
    .onSuccess{
        $0// your dictionary of type: [String:AppStat]
    }

扩展:

extension Dictionary where Key: Encodable, Value: Encodable {
    func asJSONStr() -> String? {
        let encoder = JSONEncoder()
        if let jsonData = try? encoder.encode(self) {
            if let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) {
                return jsonString
            }
        }
        
        return nil
    }
}

public extension String {
    func decodeFromJson<T>(type: T.Type) -> Result<T, Error> where T: Decodable {
        self.asData()
            .flatMap { JSONDecoder().try(type, from: $0) }
    }

    func asData() -> Result<Data, Error> {
        if let data = self.data(using: .utf8) {
            return .success(data)
        } else {
            return .failure(WTF("can't convert string to data: \(self)"))
        }
    }
}

extension JSONDecoder {
    func `try`<T: Decodable>(_ t: T.Type, from data: Data) -> Result<T,Error> {
        do {
            return .success(try self.decode(t, from: data))
        } catch {
            return .failure(error)
        }
    }
}

斯威夫特3:

let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: dict, options: [])
let jsonString = String(data: jsonData!, encoding: .utf8)!
print(jsonString)

在Swift 5.4中

extension Dictionary {
    var jsonData: Data? {
        return try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: self, options: [.prettyPrinted])
    }
    
    func toJSONString() -> String? {
        if let jsonData = jsonData {
            let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8)
            return jsonString
        }
        
        return nil
    }
}

把它作为变量的想法是，这样你就可以像这样重用它:

extension Dictionary {
    func decode<T:Codable>() throws -> T {
        return try JSONDecoder().decode(T.self, from: jsonData ?? Data())
    }
}

Swift 4字典扩展。

extension Dictionary {
    var jsonStringRepresentation: String? {
        guard let theJSONData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: self,
                                                            options: [.prettyPrinted]) else {
            return nil
        }

        return String(data: theJSONData, encoding: .ascii)
    }
}
