Try this example.

import UIKit
import Foundation

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let url = URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users")!
        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) {(data, response, error) in
            guard let data = data else { return }
            do{
                let jsonDataModels = try JSONDecoder().decode([JSONDataModel].self, from: data)
                print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
                print("jsonDataModels: \(jsonDataModels)")
            }catch{}
        }
        task.resume()

    }
}


struct JSONDataModel: Codable {
    let id: Int
    let name, username, email: String
    let address: Address
    let phone, website: String
    let company: Company
}


struct Address: Codable {
    let street, suite, city, zipcode: String
    let geo: Geo
}


struct Geo: Codable {
    let lat, lng: String
}


struct Company: Codable {
    let name, catchPhrase, bs: String
}
