Retrieving JSON Array in swift 2.0

i currently have code that is able to import a string but not the array of strings. How can I get it to import or assign a variable/constant to an array?

struct CurrentData {

let nameArray: NSString?





init(dataDictionary: [NSString: AnyObject]) {

    if let    dataFloat = dataDictionary["users"] {

        nameArray = dataFloat as? NSArray

    } else {

        nameArray = ""

    }
    print(nameArray)

 }

}

struct CurrentData {
    var nameArray: [String]?

    init(dataDictionary: [String:Any]) {
        if let dataFloat = dataDictionary["users"] as? [String] {
            nameArray = dataFloat
        }
    }
}

The input dictionary can be Any or AnyObject depends on what you are using.
