How to decode this JSON data in Swift - json

Question

I am trying to get the title from json data but I am getting an error. Here is my model object
struct SpaceNewsModel: Identifiable, Codable {
var id = UUID()
let title: String
let url: String
let source: String
}
And when I get to this point in my networking, I get an error.
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
} else {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
if let safeData = data {
do {
let astroNews = try decoder.decode([SpaceNewsModel].self, from: safeData)
print(astroNews[0].title)
} catch {
print("DEBUG: Error getting news articles \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse
// print(httpResponse)
}
})
task.resume()
}
My main problem is with the line print(astroNews[0].title I am not formatting it right and I don't know how to access this data whether in an array or otherwise.
Here is the returned JSON data after making the request on the website postman.
[
{
"title": "Wales' new £2bn space strategy hopes",
"url": "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60433763",
"source": "bbc"
},
{
"title": "Could Port Talbot become a centre of space tech? Video, 00:02:02Could Port Talbot become a centre of space tech?",
"url": "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60471170",
"source": "bbc"
}
]
Normally there would be a title for each that I can access but here it is just the data. So to summarize, how would I get the first or second title in this JSON data? Because astroNews[0].title does not work.
EDIT: I want to clarify that if I were to decode an empty struct, I would not get any errors.
struct EMPTYSTRUCT: Codable {
}
But as soon as I add any variable like let title: String I get an error. I believe something is wrong in the formatting of the JSON because usually the JSON would look something this
{
"coord": {
"lon": -95.3633,
"lat": 29.7633
}
}
where I could name the struct "coord" however no such names exist in the returned JSON I'm working with. Only the variable names. The confusion is how would I construct my SpaceNewModel file to work with the returned JSON with no apparent object name.

With reference to this answer.
Just change your structure to
struct SpaceNewsModel: Identifiable, Codable {
let id = UUID()
let title: String
let url: String
let source: String
}
This is not the solution but a workaround; if you want to solve the issue, refer to this answer
