Alamofire JSON Serialization of Objects and Collections

Alamofire is a great Swift library developed by the creator of AFNetworking @mattt. The purpose of this gist is to explain how to use the built-in power of Alamofire to serialize your JSON. In this example we will be serializing a simple blog API. First we will start with serializing a single JSON object and add complexity as we go along.

Warning: This was written before Swift 1.2

A Single JSON Serialization

This is the first JSON object that we will be serializing.

    public static HttpWebResponse MultipartFormDataPost(string postUrl, string userAgent, Dictionary<string, object> postParameters)

        string formDataBoundary = String.Format("----------{0:N}", Guid.NewGuid());
        string contentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + formDataBoundary;
