Replace occurrences of space in URL

I have a URL in an iPhone application to work with. But the problem is that it has some spaces in the URL. I want to replace the spaces with '%20'. I know that there are the stringByReplacingOccurencesOfString and stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding methods. I also have used them. But they are not working for me. The spaces are replaced by some unusual values.

I'm applying those methods on an instance of NSString.

Swift 5

var urlString = originalString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)

Swift 5.3, clear space your string,

let str = "  www.test.com  "
let trimmed = str.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)
print(str) // "www.test.com"

var urlString :String = originalUrl.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: NSCharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed)!

Hope this will work

let url = "https:youtube.56432fgrtxcvfname=xyz&sname=tuv"
let urlNew:String = url.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "%20")
Alamofire.request(urlNew, method: .get, headers: headers).responseJSON{
response in
print(response)    
}

It will remove all kind of spaces from the url.

Swift 4, iOS-9 

let **urlSearchVal**:String = "top 10 movies"     
let urlString = 

    "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=\(urlSearchVal)&key=......&type=video"   
//replace ...... above with your youtube key   
// to ignoring white space in search  
        let UrlString :String = urlString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: NSCharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed)!

A Swift 4 solution. You simply pass through a string and it fills spaces with %20 and adds "http://" to the beginning to the string. Pretty sweet!
