You can use this code you get data from text json file in swift3

     let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "nameoftheyourjsonTextfile", ofType: "json")


    let contentData = FileManager.default.contents(atPath: filePath!)
    let content = NSString(data: contentData!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) as? String

    print(content)
    let json = try! JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: contentData!) as! NSDictionary
    print(json)
    let app = json.object(forKey: "Scenes") as! NSArray!
    let _ : NSDictionary
    for dict in app! {
        let colorNam = (dict as AnyObject).object(forKey: "color") as! String
        print("colors are \(colorNam)")

       // let colour = UIColor(hexString: colorNam) {
       // colorsArray.append(colour.cgColor)
       // colorsArray.append(colorNam  as! UIColor)

        let value = (dict as AnyObject).object(forKey: "value") as! String
        print("the values are \(value)")
        valuesArray.append(value)

        let images = (dict as AnyObject).object(forKey: "image") as! String
        let url = URL(string: images as String)
        let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url!)
        print(data)
        let image1 = UIImage(data: data!)! as UIImage
        imagesArray.append(image1)
         print(image1)
            }
