Alamofire: Send JSON with Array of Dictionaries

Question

I have a data structure that looks like this in JSON:

[{
    \"value\": \"1\",
    \"optionId\": \"be69fa23-6eca-4e1b-8c78-c01daaa43c88\"
}, {
    \"value\":

You can provide parameter encoding for JSON POST request and it will send the data as JSON in request body.

Alamofire.request(.POST, "https://httpbin.org/post", parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON)

This is described in the ReadMe file of Alamofire github - https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire#post-request-with-json-encoded-parameters

let parameters = [
    "foo": [1,2,3],
    "bar": [
        "baz": "qux"
    ]
]

Alamofire.request(.POST, "https://httpbin.org/post", parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON)
// HTTP body: {"foo": [1, 2, 3], "bar": {"baz": "qux"}}
