How to handle object mapping with dynamic keys in swift 5

I'm trying to make the model class to handle the JSON response with dynamic keys and their values but getting an error i.e.

Incorrect argument label in call (have 'JSON:', expected 'map:') Replace 'JSON' with 'map', while parsing the data to the model class.

I'm using ObjectMapper for a mapping JSON response

Below what I tried till now:

Top Courses Response Model to handle JSON Response Object

import Foundation    
import ObjectMapper

struct StudentTopCouses: Mappable {        
    init?(map: Map) {}

    var results: [String: [CoursesListObject]]?

    mutating func mapping(map: Map) {
        results   <- map["data"]
    }
}

class CoursesListObject: Mappable {

    var id: NSNumber?
    var createdOn: NSNumber?
    var name: String?
    var description: String?
    var createdBy: String?
    var approved: Bool?
    var reason: String?
    var courseStatus: String?
    var courseCategory: CourseCategory?

    required init?(map: Map) {}

    func mapping(map: Map) {
        id <- map["id"]
        createdOn <- map["createdOn"]
        name <- map["name"]
        description <- map["description"]
        createdBy <- map["createdBy"]
        approved <- map["approved"]
        reason <- map["reason"]
        courseStatus <- map["courseStatus"]
        courseCategory <- map["courseCategory"]
    }
}


class CourseCategory: Mappable {

var id: NSNumber?
var createdOn: NSNumber?
var category: String?
var description: Any?

required init?(map: Map){
}

func mapping(map: Map) {
    id <- map["id"]
    createdOn <- map["createdOn"]
    category <- map["category"]
    description <- map["description"]
  }
}

Function for Top Courses API Success:

 func getTopCourseNetworkCallSuccess(data : JSON){

    if data["isSuccess"].boolValue {

        ActivityIndicator.shared.hideProgressView()

        if let r = StudentTopCouses.init(JSON: data), let result = r.results {
            for (key, value) in result {
                print("Key: \(key)" )
                print("Course Name: \(value.first!.name!)")
            }
        }   
    } else {
        //Handle Error Response
    }
}

Here is my API JSON Response like this

        "ManualTesting": [
            {

But here I'm facing an error while parsing the JSON Response

if let r = StudentTopCouses.init(JSON: data), let result = r.results {
     for (key, value) in result {
         print("Key: \( key )" )
         print("Course Name: \( value.first!.name! )")
     }
}

Error message:

Incorrect argument label in call (have 'JSON:', expected 'map:') Replace 'JSON' with 'map'

You should read the documentation: https://github.com/tristanhimmelman/ObjectMapper

StudentTopCouses constructor is init?(map: Map) not init(JSON: ...)

So the error is correct on line: let r = StudentTopCouses.init(JSON: data) where you don't have such a constructor..

The Mappable protocol is as follows (as per link above in Mappable.swift):

public protocol Mappable: BaseMappable {
    init?(map: Map)
}

As per documentation above, you'd have to do:

if let studentTopCourses = Mapper<StudentTopCourses>().map(JSONObject: SomeJSONDictionary)

or:

if let studentTopCourses = Mapper<StudentTopCourses>().map(JSONString: SomeJSONString)

EDIT: Since you are using SwiftyJSON library AND ObjectMapper library, you need to interface both of them:

if let jsonString = data.rawString(), let r = Mapper<StudentTopCouses>.map(JSONString: jsonString)

or:

//Can use JSON or JSONObject here..
if let jsonDict = data.dictionaryObject(), let r = Mapper<StudentTopCouses>.map(JSON: jsonDict)
