getting nil value while calling api (alamofire)

Question

i am using alamofire to call api. but in this particular api i am getting nil value as a response. actually when i hit my api in my browser its working pretty well.

here is my code

 func web()
{


    request(.GET, "http://www.horecasupply.nl/AJAX?function=appStructure", parameters: nil, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { (response : Response<AnyObject, NSError>) -> Void in
        if response.result.value != nil {
            print(response.result.value)
        }

    }

}

getting nil value and when i print respose its showing me

Printing description of response.result.Failure:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Invalid value around character 1."         
UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Invalid value around character 1.}

EDIT 1:: tried responsestring instead of responsejson. but getting different kind of response so how can i convert it?

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n</script>\r\n DD_belatedPNG.fix(\'img, .png_bg\'); //fix any or .png_bg background-images </script>\r\n\r\n\r\n</script>\r\n</script>-->\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n")

Try using `responseString` instead of `responseJson` [Alamofire invalid value around character 0](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32355850/alamofire-invalid-value-around-character-0) — Bista, Jan 11 '16 at 09:13
by using responsestring getting this kind of response \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n DD_belatedPNG.fix(\'img, .png_bg\'); //fix any or .png_bg background-images \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n-->\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n") — Govind Rakholiya, Jan 11 '16 at 09:41

Your code snippet works for me ([screenshot](https://www.evernote.com/l/AOwYaIzaSFZEebo3JmdJu5zWCCXIMc_GUPE)). — Eric Aya, Jan 11 '16 at 09:57
Just added ["Allow arbitrary loads"](https://www.evernote.com/l/AOzc6LuWYLtE4ZcShiuwIJxzJe9FsQdRpxI) but nothing special other than that. — Eric Aya, Jan 11 '16 at 10:13

UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Invalid value around character 1. — Govind Rakholiya, Jan 11 '16 at 10:20

Give this code a shot, this should work:

    Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://www.horecasupply.nl/AJAX?function=appStructure").responseJSON { response in
    if response.result.value != nil {
        print(response.result.value)
    }
}

Why? How? OP's code worked for me, why do you think replacing it by yours would improve their situation? Please explain your answer. – Eric Aya Jan 11 '16 at 13:21
