While writing a pet project app in Swift I put together this convenience function that simplifies converting an NSData into JSON objects via the NSJSONSerialization class. My JSONObjectWithData function adds a Swift-friendly API on top of the Foundation method of the same name. Here is a Gist showing how it works and how to use it.

| /** Outputs of the JSONObjectWithData function. */ | |
