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)
