从ISO7开始，至少你可以用NSJSONSerialization轻松做到这一点。

这里有NSArray和NSDictionary的类别，让这个超级简单。我添加了一个漂亮打印的选项(换行符和制表符使阅读更容易)。

@interface NSDictionary (BVJSONString)
-(NSString*) bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL) prettyPrint;
@end

.

@implementation NSDictionary (BVJSONString)

  -(NSString*) bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL) prettyPrint {
     NSError *error;
     NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:self
                                                   options:(NSJSONWritingOptions)    (prettyPrint ? NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted : 0)
                                                     error:&error];

     if (! jsonData) {
        NSLog(@"%s: error: %@", __func__, error.localizedDescription);
        return @"{}";
     } else {
        return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
     } 
 }
@end

.

@interface NSArray (BVJSONString)
- (NSString *)bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL)prettyPrint;
@end

.

@implementation NSArray (BVJSONString)
-(NSString*) bv_jsonStringWithPrettyPrint:(BOOL) prettyPrint {
    NSError *error;
    NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:self
                                                       options:(NSJSONWritingOptions) (prettyPrint ? NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted : 0)
                                                         error:&error];

    if (! jsonData) {
        NSLog(@"%s: error: %@", __func__, error.localizedDescription);
        return @"[]";
    } else {
        return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    }
}
@end

苹果在iOS 5.0和Mac OS X 10.7中添加了JSON解析器和序列化器。看到NSJSONSerialization。

要从NSDictionary或NSArray中生成JSON字符串，你不再需要导入任何第三方框架。

以下是如何做到这一点:

NSError *error; 
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dictionaryOrArrayToOutput 
                                                   options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted // Pass 0 if you don't care about the readability of the generated string
                                                     error:&error];

if (! jsonData) {
    NSLog(@"Got an error: %@", error);
} else {
    NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

在Swift 2.0版本中:

class func jsonStringWithJSONObject(jsonObject: AnyObject) throws -> String? {
    let data: NSData? = try? NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(jsonObject, options: NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)

    var jsonStr: String?
    if data != nil {
        jsonStr = String(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
    }

    return jsonStr
}

将NSDictionary转换为NSString:

NSError * err;
NSData * jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:myDictionary options:0 error:&err]; 
NSString * myString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

可以传递数组或字典。这里，我使用NSMutableDictionary。

NSMutableDictionary *contentDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
[contentDictionary setValue:@"a" forKey:@"b"];
[contentDictionary setValue:@"c" forKey:@"d"];

为了从NSDictionary或NSArray中生成JSON字符串，你不需要导入任何第三方框架。只需使用以下代码:-

NSError *error; 
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:contentDictionary // Here you can pass array or dictionary
                    options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted // Pass 0 if you don't care about the readability of the generated string
                    error:&error];
NSString *jsonString;
if (jsonData) {
    jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    //This is your JSON String
    //NSUTF8StringEncoding encodes special characters using an escaping scheme
} else {
    NSLog(@"Got an error: %@", error);
    jsonString = @"";
}
NSLog(@"Your JSON String is %@", jsonString);
