in visual basic I upload html page as a string like this .. system.net.webclient (). downloadstring ("http://example.com") How do I download the html page for a swift in xcode ios?

In Swift 1.2 (Xcode 6.4):

func htmlStringFromURL(url: NSURL) -> String?
{
    var encoding: UInt = 0
    let html = NSString(contentsOfURL: url, usedEncoding: &encoding, error:nil)
    return html as? String
}

let x = htmlStringFromURL(NSURL(string: "http://www.apple.com")!)

In Swift 2.0 (Xcode 7 beta)

func htmlStringFromURL(url: NSURL) -> String?
{
    do
    {
        var encoding: UInt = 0
        let html = try NSString(contentsOfURL: url, usedEncoding: &encoding)
        return html as String
    }
    catch {return nil}
}

let x = htmlStringFromURL(NSURL(string: "http://www.apple.com")!)
