In Swift the most reasonable way is to adopt Codable and save the array either as Property List or JSON

class Item : Codable {
    var title: String = ""
    var done: Bool = false
}

...

do {
   let data = try JSONEncoder().encode(array)
   // or let data = try PropertyListEncoder().encode(array)
   defaults.set(data, forKey: "arrays")
} catch { print(error) }
