Cannot populate UITableview with json data

Question

I have a local json file ( you can find it here ).

I am trying to populate a UITableView with this json and I can generate the table.

but I can only see the mentioned headers and not the respective data beneath the cells of those headers.

I will post some of the code below and can share more if it helps

enum ProfileViewModelItemType {
    case nameAndPicture
    case about
    case email
    case friend
    case attribute
}

protocol ProfileViewModelItem {
    var type: ProfileViewModelItemType { get }
    var rowCount: Int { get }
    var sectionTitle: String  { get }
}

extension ProfileViewModelItem {
    var rowCount: Int {
        return 1
    }
}

class ProfileViewModelNameItem: ProfileViewModelItem {
    var type: ProfileViewModelItemType {

    } 
}

    }

        return 1
    }

    init(json: [String: Any]) {
        self.key = json["key"] as? String
        self.value = json["value"] as? String
    }
 }

the table view should not only have names of friends but the images also which are present in the assets .

I have also defined custom classes for all the different types of cell and dequeued them and registered them

been looking at it for a week now but still no, any help would be appreciated

I have also provided the frame and added all labels, images etc to the table view as subView but no luck
