ios - Is there a way to pretty print Swift dictionaries to the console?

Question

NSDictionary *dictionary = @{@"A" : @"alfa",
                             @"B" : @"bravo",
                             @"C" : @"charlie",
                             @"D" : @"delta",
                             @"E" : @"echo",
                             @"F" : @"foxtrot"};
NSLog(@"%@", dictionary.description);

prints out the following on the console:

{
    A = alfa;
    B = bravo;
    C = charlie;
    D = delta;
    E = echo;
    F = foxtrot;
}

let dictionary: [String : String] = ["A" : "alfa",
                                     "B" : "bravo",
                                     "C" : "charlie",
                                     "D" : "delta",
                                     "E" : "echo",
                                     "F" : "foxtrot"];
print(dictionary)

prints out the following on the console:

["B": "bravo", "A": "alfa", "F": "foxtrot", "C": "charlie", "D": "delta", "E": "echo"]

Is there a way in Swift to get it to pretty print dictionaries where each key-value pair occupies a new line?

po solution

For those of you want to see Dictionary as JSON with out escape sequence in console, here is a simple way to do that

(lldb)p print(String(data: try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: object, options: .prettyPrinted), encoding: .utf8 )!)
