I m neither a JSON expert nor a Swift expert  but the following is working for me     I have extracted the code from my current app  and only changed  MyLog to println   and indented with spaces to get it to show as a code block  hopefully I didn t break it    func getServerCourseVersion         Alamofire request  GET    PUBLIC URL  vtcver php            responseJSON         JSON     in           if let jsonResult   JSON as  Array lt Dictionary lt String String gt  gt                let courseName   jsonResult 0   courseName               let courseVersion   jsonResult 0   courseVersion               let courseZipFile   jsonResult 0   courseZipFile                println  JSON     courseName    courseName                println  JSON  courseVersion    courseVersion                println  JSON  courseZipFile    courseZipFile                             Hope this helps   Edit   For reference  here is what my PHP Script returns      courseName    Training Title   courseVersion    1 01   courseZipFile    101 files zip

I usually use Gloss library to serialize or deserialize JSON in iOS  For example  I have JSON that looks like this     ABDC     AB   qwerty   CD   uiop       AB   12334   CD   asdf       First  I model the JSON array in Gloss struct   Struct Struct Name  Decodable      let IJ  String     let KL  String     init  json  JSON          self IJ    AB   lt    json        self KL    CD   lt    json          And then in Alamofire responseJSON  I do this following thing   Alamofire request url  method   get  paramters  parametersURL  validate contentType    application json    responseJSON  response in  switch response result     case  success  let data       guard let value   data as  JSON         let eventsArrayJSON   value  ABDC   as   JSON      else   fatalError         let struct name    Struct Name  from jsonArray  eventsArrayJSON   the JSON deserialization is done here  after this line you can do anything with your JSON     for i in 0    lt  Int  struct name  count             print  struct name  i  IJ            print  struct name  i  KL               break     case  failure let error       print  Error    error        break        The output from the code above   qwerty uiop 1234 asdf
