And I want to know how to cast this data so all attributes are reachable. I suppose that it’s JSON format but currently is casted as [String:Anyobject].

The reason you're getting a dictionary of those types is because it currently does not contain homogenous data (data of the same type). To fix this, you'll have to check whether or not the specific types for the key, value pairs are there. You can do that by type casting.
if let dict = someData as? [String: Int] {
// do something here
}
This checks whether someData is of [String: Int] type. It'll bind the value if it is, otherwise it'll return nil.
Hope I've helped. Happy Coding!
