Swift 3 Solution

Simple utility class

class ArchiveUtil {

    private static let PeopleKey = "PeopleKey"

    private static func archivePeople(people : [Human]) -> NSData {

        return NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: people as NSArray) as NSData
    }

    static func loadPeople() -> [Human]? {

        if let unarchivedObject = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: PeopleKey) as? Data {

            return NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveObject(with: unarchivedObject as Data) as? [Human]
        }

        return nil
    }

    static func savePeople(people : [Human]?) {

        let archivedObject = archivePeople(people: people!)
        UserDefaults.standard.set(archivedObject, forKey: PeopleKey)
        UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
    }

}

Model Class

class Human: NSObject, NSCoding {

    var name:String?
    var age:Int?

    required init(n:String, a:Int) {

        name = n
        age = a
    }


    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {

        name = aDecoder.decodeObject(forKey: "name") as? String
        age = aDecoder.decodeInteger(forKey: "age")
    }


    public func encode(with aCoder: NSCoder) {

        aCoder.encode(name, forKey: "name")
        aCoder.encode(age, forKey: "age")

    }
}

How to call

var people = [Human]()

people.append(Human(n: "Sazzad", a: 21))
people.append(Human(n: "Hissain", a: 22))
people.append(Human(n: "Khan", a: 23))

ArchiveUtil.savePeople(people: people)

let others = ArchiveUtil.loadPeople()

for human in others! {

    print("name = \(human.name!), age = \(human.age!)")
}
