swift JSONSerialization

Convert JSON string to array / Dictionary :

	/// JSON string to Array
    func getArrayFromJSONString(jsonStr: String) -> Array<Any> {
        
        let data: Data = jsonStr.data(using: .utf8)!
        
        let arr = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers)
        
        if arr != nil {
            return arr as! Array<Any>
        }
        
        return []
    }
    /// JSON string to Dictionary
    func getDictionaryFromJSONString(jsonStr: String) -> Dictionary<String, Any> {
        
        let jsonData: Data = jsonStr.data(using: .utf8)!
        
        let dictionary = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: jsonData, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers)
        
        if dictionary != nil {
            return dictionary as! Dictionary<String, Any>
        }
        
        return [:]
    }

Test case:

        let jsonStr = """
        [
            \"Hyouka\",
            \"Youjo Senki\",
            \"Bungou Stray Dogs 2nd Season\",
            \"Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood\",
            \"Tokyo Ghoul √A\",
            \"Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei\",
            \"Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT\",
            \"Joker Game\",
            \"Avatar: The Last Airbender\",
            \"Charlotte\"
        ]
        """
        
        let arr = getArrayFromJSONString(jsonStr: jsonStr)
        
        print(arr)
