How to parse data which starts with an array [? - json

Question

So in my swift 3 xcode project, I want to parse some data using JSOmN by consuming a web service called "http://tour-pedia.org/api/"
And the data within it for example is set like this:
[
{
"address": "Science Park 904",
"category": "attraction",
"id": 30884,
"lat": 52.355320008998,
"lng": 4.9574317242814,
"location": "Amsterdam",
"name": "Dakterras Science Park",
"originalId": "4d8b3370bc848cfa1043ea2b",
"polarity": 0,
"subCategory": "Scenic Lookout",
},
{
"address": "Science Park 201",
"category": "attraction",
"id": 30661,
"lat": 52.356701093273,
"lng": 4.9529844809109,
"location": "Amsterdam",
"name": "In 'de Natuur' rondom Science Park",
"originalId": "4da2ede7c6e96ea85e1ede5d",
"polarity": 0,
"subCategory": "Field",
}
]
I want to use the address, location and name field.
so far i have done this:
func fetchInfos(){
let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "http://tour-pedia.org/api/")!)
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlRequest){ (data,response,error) in
if error != nil {
print(error)
return
}
do{
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .mutableContainers) as! [String : AnyObject]
} catch let error {
print(error)
}
}
}
but i don't know how to continue on from here.
Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Let us assume your string s is the json with sqaure brackets
String s = "[{\"a\":\"b\"}]";
s = s.substring(1, s.length() - 1);
//do all your processing on s now, as the sqaure brackets will be removed !!
