do{
        let dataDict = [ "level" :
                            [
                                ["column" : 0,"down" : 0,"left" : 0,"right" : 0,"row" : 0,"up" : 0],
                                ["column" : 1,"down" : 0,"left" : 0,"right" : 0,"row" : 0,"up" : 0],
                                ["column" : 2,"down" : 0,"left" : 0,"right" : 0,"row" : 0,"up" : 0],
                                ["column" : 0,"down" : 0,"left" : 0,"right" : 0,"row" : 1,"up" : 0],
                                ["column" : 1,"down" : 0,"left" : 0,"right" : 0,"row" : 1,"up" : 0],
                                ["column" : 2,"down" : 0,"left" : 0,"right" : 0,"row" : 1,"up" : 0]
                            ]
        ]
        var jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: dataDict, options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions.prettyPrinted)
        let jsonStringData =  NSString(data: jsonData as Data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)! as String
        print(jsonStringData)
    }catch{
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }

你问题的答案如下:

斯威夫特2.1

     do {
          if let postData : NSData = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(dictDataToBeConverted, options: NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted){

          let json = NSString(data: postData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)! as String
          print(json)}

        }
        catch {
           print(error)
        }

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)")
    }
  }

有时为了调试目的，有必要打印出服务器的响应。下面是我使用的函数:

extension Dictionary {

    var json: String {
        let invalidJson = "Not a valid JSON"
        do {
            let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: self, options: .prettyPrinted)
            return String(bytes: jsonData, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) ?? invalidJson
        } catch {
            return invalidJson
        }
    }

    func printJson() {
        print(json)
    }

}

使用示例:

(lldb) po dictionary.printJson()
{
  "InviteId" : 2,
  "EventId" : 13591,
  "Messages" : [
    {
      "SenderUserId" : 9514,
      "MessageText" : "test",
      "RecipientUserId" : 9470
    },
    {
      "SenderUserId" : 9514,
      "MessageText" : "test",
      "RecipientUserId" : 9470
    }
  ],
  "TargetUserId" : 9470,
  "InvitedUsers" : [
    9470
  ],
  "InvitingUserId" : 9514,
  "WillGo" : true,
  "DateCreated" : "2016-08-24 14:01:08 +00:00"
}

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
}

斯威夫特5:

extension Dictionary {
    
    /// Convert Dictionary to JSON string
    /// - Throws: exception if dictionary cannot be converted to JSON data or when data cannot be converted to UTF8 string
    /// - Returns: JSON string
    func toJson() throws -> String {
        let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: self)
        if let string = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
            return string
        }
        throw NSError(domain: "Dictionary", code: 1, userInfo: ["message": "Data cannot be converted to .utf8 string"])
    }
}
