Encode string in HTML Swift [duplicate]

Question

I have a string and I need to encode it in html. For example ">" becomes "& gt;" In C# I do

string stringEncoded = System.Net.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(myString);

How can I do the same thing in Swift?

Might be extremely late by now... At the moment I am doing it like this

    let html = "<pre>something</pre>"
    var result = html.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("&", withString: "&amp;", options: nil, range: nil)
    result = result.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("\"", withString: "&quot;", options: nil, range: nil)
    result = result.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("'", withString: "&#39;", options: nil, range: nil)
    result = result.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("<", withString: "&lt;", options: nil, range: nil)
    result = result.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(">", withString: "&gt;", options: nil, range: nil)
    print(result)
