NSDictionary to NSData and NSData to NSDictionary in Swift
You can use NSKeyedArchiver
and NSKeyedUnarchiver
Example for swift 2.0+
var dictionaryExample : [String:AnyObject] = ["user":"UserName", "pass":"password", "token":"0123456789", "image":0]
let dataExample : NSData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(dictionaryExample)
let dictionary:NSDictionary? = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObjectWithData(dataExample)! as? NSDictionary
Swift3.0
let dataExample: Data = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: dictionaryExample)
let dictionary: Dictionary? = NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: dataExample) as! [String : Any]

For Swift 3:
let data = try PropertyListSerialization.data(fromPropertyList: authResponse, format: PropertyListSerialization.PropertyListFormat.binary, options: 0)
Swift 5
as @yuyeqingshan said, PropertyListSerialization
is a good option
// Swift Dictionary To Data.
do {
let data = try PropertyListSerialization.data(fromPropertyList: [:], format: PropertyListSerialization.PropertyListFormat.binary, options: 0)
// do sth
} catch{
print(error)
}
// Data to Swift Dictionary
do {
let dicFromData = try PropertyListSerialization.propertyList(from: data, options: PropertyListSerialization.ReadOptions.mutableContainers, format: nil)
if let dict = dicFromData as? [String: Any]{
// do sth
}
} catch{
print(error)
}
NSPropertyListSerialization may be an alternative solution.
// Swift Dictionary To Data.
var data = try NSPropertyListSerialization.dataWithPropertyList(dictionaryExample, format: NSPropertyListFormat.BinaryFormat_v1_0, options: 0)
// Data to Swift Dictionary
var dicFromData = (try NSPropertyListSerialization.propertyListWithData(data, options: NSPropertyListReadOptions.Immutable, format: nil)) as! Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
