Can you execute an Applescript script from a Swift Application

Question

I have a simple AppleScript that sends an email. How can I call it from within a Swift application?

(I wasn't able to find the answer via Google.)

As Kamaros suggests, you can call NSApplescript directly without having to launch a separate process via NSTask (as CRGreen suggests.)

Swift Code

let myAppleScript = "..."
var error: NSDictionary?
if let scriptObject = NSAppleScript(source: myAppleScript) {
    if let output: NSAppleEventDescriptor = scriptObject.executeAndReturnError(
                                                                       &error) {
        print(output.stringValue)
    } else if (error != nil) {
        print("error: \(error)")
    }
}
