Reminder of the syntax of Alamofire 4 JSON request

alamofire4_example.swift

// Remember to add to Info.plist
// App Transport Security Settings / Dictionary
//   Allow Arbitrary Loads / Boolean / YES
// (or to be safer, use the Exception Domains subkey to be specific about which domains are allowed non-secure)

import Alamofire

// ...
func example() {
  let url = URL(string: "http://pokeapi.co/api/v2/type/3/")!
  Alamofire.request(url).responseJSON { response in
    switch response.result {
    case .success:
      print("/ JSON returned in makeRequest: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv")
      print(response.result.value)
      print("\\ JSON returned in makeRequest: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^")
      break
    case .failure(let error):
      print(error)
      break
    }
  }
  // You'll notice this occurs in the console LONG before the request completes.
  print("~~~~~~ below request ~~~~~~~~")
}
