struct to json like Stringify in javascript [duplicate]

Question

How can you convert a struct to json. Like Stringify in javascript?

Following gives the error: Argument type 'MyStruct' does not conform to expected type 'AnyType.
I get that, but how would you do it?

struct MyStruct{
    var name: String
}

let obj = MyStruct(name: "Bob")

let data = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(obj, options: .PrettyPrinted)
if let string = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding){
    print(string)
}

Add a function or property to your struct that gives you a dictionary that you then can serialise.

struct MyStruct{
    var name: String
    var dictionary: [String: AnyObject]{
        get {
            return ["name": name]
        }
    }
}
