'How to save JSON to CoreData?

I got this class:

import Foundation

class Own: Codable {
    let response: Ownerinfo

    init(response: Ownerinfo) {
        self.response = response
    }
}

class Ownerinfo: Codable {
    let gender, firstName, email, country: String
    let dob: String
    let conections: [JSONAny]
    let lastName, token, phoneNumber: String
    let image: String
    let id: String

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case gender
        case firstName = "first_name"
        case email, country, dob, conections
        case lastName = "last_name"
        case token, phoneNumber, image, id
    }

    init(gender: String, firstName: String, email: String, country: String, dob: String, conections: [JSONAny], lastName: String, token: String, phoneNumber: String, image: String, id: String) {
        self.gender = gender

}

and i save it as a string in coredata entity knowing it is wrong to do so

enter image description here

And I want to save it in CoreData container in http post func inside it :

      do {
        // create json object from data or use JSONDecoder to convert to Model stuct
          if let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: responseData, options: .mutableContainers) as? Dictionary<String,Any>{
          print(jsonResponse)
            let decoder = JSONDecoder()
            do {
                let loginResponse = try decoder.decode(Own.self, from: responseData)
                print("firstName:", loginResponse.response.firstName)
                let owner = Owner(context: self.persistentContainer.viewContext)
                owner.id = loginResponse.response.id
                owner.firstName = loginResponse.response.firstName
                owner.lastName  =  loginResponse.response.lastName
                owner.email = loginResponse.response.email
                owner.gender = loginResponse.response.gender
                owner.phoneNumber = loginResponse.response.phoneNumber
                owner.dob = loginResponse.response.dob
                owner.country = loginResponse.response.country
                owner.token = loginResponse.response.token
                owner.image = loginResponse.response.image
                owner.conections = loginResponse.response.conections[0] as? String /// the problem is here how can i get the JsonAny 
if this is the only way to extract json response and save to coredata
                
                do {
                    try self.persistentContainer.viewContext.save()
                } catch {
                    print("Failed to save event \(error)")
                }
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.myuser = loginResponse
                                    }
                
          
                } catch {
                 print(error)
             }
          // handle json response

the idea i want to save that JsonAny into CoreData ? how can i save it ?

if i tried to save it like i did it says Cast from 'JSONAny' to unrelated type 'String' always fails any idea how can i do it ?
