Converting a String to JSON Object:

Just as an example, here I've converted a NSString

First of all convert the NSString to NSDictionary

static func convert(src: NSString) -> NSDictionary {
    // convert String to NSData
    let data = src.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
    var error: NSError?

    // convert NSData to 'AnyObject'
    let anyObj: AnyObject?
    do {
        anyObj = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    } catch let error1 as NSError {
        error = error1
        anyObj = nil
    }

    if(error != nil) {
        // If there is an error parsing JSON, print it to the console
        print("JSON Error \(error!.localizedDescription)")
        //self.showError()
        return NSDictionary()
    } else {

        return anyObj as! NSDictionary
    }

}

And then, use it like this

if  let name = dictionary["name"] as? String {
    self.name = name
}

You can use the converted JSON to make an object like this

import Foundation

class Student {
var name="";

init(dictionary: NSDictionary) {
    let _NAME = "name"
    if  let name = dictionary[_NAME] as? String {
        self.name = name
    }
}

}
