Swift 4 decodable json arrays

Question

So I am currently woking on a program to parse a JSON Api which is linked at the bottom

When I run the code I get some output but not all

Mainly for the optional type of Anime which is good because it shows that it works but I also want to access the name and release date and languages however I have no idea how to work with JSON arrays like this in swift 4. I will attach my current code below.

import UIKit

struct AnimeJsonStuff: Decodable {
    let data: [AnimeDataArray]
}

struct AnimeDataArray: Decodable {
    let type: String?
}

class OsuHomeController: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
    func jsonDecoding() {
        let jsonUrlString = "https://kitsu.io/api/edge/anime"

        guard let url = URL(string: jsonUrlString) else {return} //
        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, err) in

            guard let data = data else {return}

            do {
                let animeJsonStuff =  try JSONDecoder().decode(AnimeJsonStuff.self, from: data)
                print(animeJsonStuff.data)

                let animeDataArray = try JSONDecoder().decode(AnimeDataArray.self, from: data)
                print(animeDataArray.type as Any)
            } catch let jsonErr {
                print("Error serializing json", jsonErr)
            }
        }.resume()
    }
}

I have more code after that but it's just for setting up custom collectionViewCells.

Also here is the link to the api

Answer for title "Swift 4 decodable json arrays"

let decoder = JSONDecoder()
do {
   let array = try decoder.decode([YouCodableStruct].self, from: response.data!)
   debugPrint(array)
} catch {
   debugPrint("Error occurred")
}
