How to send a POST request with BODY in swift

Question

I m trying to make a post request with a body in swift using Alamofire   my json body looks like           IdQuiz    102       IdUser     iosclient        User     iosclient        List                       IdQuestion    5           IdProposition   2           Time    32                               IdQuestion    4           IdProposition   3           Time    9                     I m trying to make let list with NSDictionnary which look like      Time  30  IdQuestion  6510  idProposition  10    Time  30  IdQuestion  8284  idProposition  10     and my request using Alamofire looks like    Alamofire request  POST   http   myserver com   parameters    IdQuiz   102   IdUser   iOSclient   User   iOSClient   List  list    encoding   JSON               response   request  response  data  error in             let dataString   NSString data  data   encoding NSUTF8StringEncoding                  println dataString              The request has an error and I believe the problem is with Dictionary list  cause if I make a request without the list it works fine  so any idea      I have tried the solution suggested but I m facing the same problem     let json     List  list  IdQuiz   102   IdUser   iOSclient   UserInformation   iOSClient           let data   NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject json  options  NSJSONWritingOptions PrettyPrinted error nil          let jsons   NSString data  data   encoding  NSUTF8StringEncoding         Alamofire request  POST   http   myserver com   parameters       encoding   Custom            convertible  params  in         var mutableRequest   convertible URLRequest copy   as  NSMutableURLRequest         mutableRequest HTTPBody   jsons  dataUsingEncoding NSUTF8StringEncoding  allowLossyConversion  false          return  mutableRequest  nil                   response   request  response  data  error in         let dataString   NSString data  data   encoding NSUTF8StringEncoding             println dataString

You re close  The parameters dictionary formatting doesn t look correct  You should try the following   let parameters   String  AnyObject           IdQuiz    102       IdUser     iosclient        User     iosclient        List                            IdQuestion    5               IdProposition   2               Time    32                                   IdQuestion    4               IdProposition   3               Time    9                    Alamofire request  POST   http   myserver com   parameters  parameters  encoding   JSON       responseJSON   request  response  JSON  error in         print response          print JSON          print error          Hopefully that fixed your issue  If it doesn t  please reply and I ll adjust my answer accordingly

I don t like any of the other answers so far  except perhaps the one by SwiftDeveloper   because they either require you to deserialize your JSON  only for it to be serialized again  or care about the structure of the JSON itself   The correct answer has been posted by afrodev in another question  You should go and upvote it   Below is just my adaption  with some minor changes  primarily explicit UTF-8 charset    let urlString    https   example org some api  let json       What     Ever      let url   URL string  urlString   let jsonData   json data using   utf8  allowLossyConversion  false    var request   URLRequest url  url  request httpMethod   HTTPMethod post rawValue request setValue  application json  charset UTF-8   forHTTPHeaderField   Content-Type   request httpBody   jsonData  Alamofire request request  responseJSON        response  in      print response
