The following will place the contents of the file into a string:

let filePath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("file", ofType: "txt");
let fileData = String(filePath!, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding, error:nil)!

var filePath  = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("world_country_state", ofType:"json")
        var nsMutData = NSData(contentsOfFile:filePath!)
        var sJson     = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(nsMutData!, options: .MutableContainers, error: nil) as! NSMutableDictionary
        let arraycOuntry: NSArray = sJson.valueForKey("world")?.allKeys as! NSArray
        let states: NSArray = sJson.valueForKey("world")?.valueForKey("USA") as! NSArray

pickerDataSoruce = states.mutableCopy() as! NSMutableArray

In this Code world_country_state.json is My File just You replace your file name.
i think this Code is very helpful for you.
