return try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any]
} catch {
print("JSON Serialization Error :-> \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

Answer 1

Your JSON String is not valid. It should look like this:
let testString = "{\"name\":\"DM100\", \"profile\":[1,2,4,5]}"
if let data = testString.data(using: .utf8) {
do {
if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any] {
print(json["name"])
}
}
catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
Start and end with curly braces {} and have double quotations around string keys and values.

You can use following code to get the output:
But String must have and valid JSON format first as follows:
let string = "{\"name\":\"DM100\", \"profile\":[1,2,4,5]}"
let data = string.data(using: .utf8)!
do {
if let jsonObj = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options : .allowFragments) as? Dictionary<String,Any> {
print(jsonObj)
} else {
print("JSON Error")
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
