I recommend that you use SwiftyJSON framework. Study its documentation and in addition learn how to write strings to files (hint: NSFileHandle)

Something like the code below, but you really need to study both SwiftyJSON and NSFileHandle to learn how to both serialize JSON data to a file and parse JSON data from a file

let levels = ["unlocked", "locked", "locked"]
let json = JSON(levels)
let str = json.description
let data = str.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
if let file = NSFileHandle(forWritingAtPath:path) {
    file.writeData(data)
}
