Read out specific JSON from NSArray - ios

Question

This is the JSON object I'm getting from the openweathermap - API:
["main": {
humidity = 12;
pressure = 922;
temp = "271.13";
"temp_max" = "171.15";
"temp_min" = "291.15";
}, "name": mycity, "id": 299129219, "coord": {
lat = "92.1211";
lon = "182.1211";
}, "weather": <__NSArrayI 0x1c042e820>(
{
description = "light snow";
icon = 13n;
id = 120;
main = Snow;
},
{
description = mist;
icon = 50n;
id = 722;
main = Mist;
}
)
, "clouds": {
all = 12;
}, "dt": 211, "base": stations, "sys": {
country = XXX;
id = 4891;
message = "0.02221";
sunrise = 1221122112;
sunset = 4343344343;
type = 1;
}, "cod": 100, "visibility": 3200, "wind": {
speed = 3;
}]
Because I like to readout some information (like the current temperature, the weather description, etc.) I tried to use this few lines:
let temperature = (result["main"] as! [String:Double])["temp"]!
The code above is working fine but I got massive problems reading out the description of the first Weather element (called "light snow"):
let description = (result["weather"] as! [String:Any]).first["description"]! //(result should be : "light snow")
... doesn't seems working at all.
So how can I fix this issue?
Thanks a million in advance.

Also used this API :)
This worked for me:
guard let weathersArray = json["weather"] as? [[String: Any]],
let weatherJson = weathersArray.first,
let description = weatherJson["description"] as? String
else { return }
Update: in case you want all the array elements just loop over the weathersArray and get all the descriptions.
