Decoding a JSON without keys in Swift 4

Question

I\'m using an API that returns this pretty horrible JSON:

[
  \"A string\",
  [
    \"A string\",
    \"A string\",
    \"A string\",
    \"A string\",
    …
  ]

A possible solution is to use the JSONSerialization, then you might simply dig inside such json, doing so:

import Foundation

let jsonString = "[\"A string\",[\"A string\",\"A string\", \"A string\", \"A string\"]]"
if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8) {
    if let jsonArray = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: jsonData, options: []) as? [Any] {
        jsonArray.forEach {
            if let innerArray = $0 as? [Any] {
                print(innerArray) // this is the stuff you need
            }
        }
    }
}
