Swift: How to remove a null value from Dictionary?

You can create an array containing the keys whose corresponding values are nil:

let keysToRemove = dict.keys.array.filter { dict[$0]! == nil }

and next loop through all elements of that array and remove the keys from the dictionary:

for key in keysToRemove {
    dict.removeValueForKey(key)
}

The force unwrapping operator is a bit ugly, although safe, as explained in the comments. There are probably several other ways to achieve the same result, a better-looking way of the same method is:

let keysToRemove = dict.keys.filter {
  guard let value = dict[$0] else { return false }
  return value == nil
}

Swift 5

Use compactMapValues:

dictionary.compactMapValues { $0 }

compactMapValues has been introduced in Swift 5. For more info see Swift proposal SE-0218.

Example with dictionary

let json = [
    "FirstName": "Anvar",
    "LastName": "Azizov",
    "Website": nil,
    "About": nil,
]

let result = json.compactMapValues { $0 }
print(result) // ["FirstName": "Anvar", "LastName": "Azizov"]

Example including JSON parsing

let jsonText = """
  {
    "FirstName": "Anvar",
    "LastName": "Azizov",
    "Website": null,
    "About": null
  }
  """

let data = jsonText.data(using: .utf8)!
let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: [])
if let json = json as? [String: Any?] {
    let result = json.compactMapValues { $0 }
    print(result) // ["FirstName": "Anvar", "LastName": "Azizov"]
}

Swift 4

I would do it by combining filter with mapValues:

dictionary.filter { $0.value != nil }.mapValues { $0! }

Examples

Use the above examples just replace let result with

let result = json.filter { $0.value != nil }.mapValues { $0! }
