How do I parse JSON with Objective-C?
Let me first say that I am still new to Objective-C but I am looking for way to store JSON data from a restful API to a variable. I have already established a connection to the API I am just unfamiliar with the commands to search to find specific information. Any help or references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
One of the easiest way to retrieve JSON data from a restful API is using the AFNetworking library.
Here's a sample code
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://yourAPIUrl/whatever"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
// do whatever you like with your JSON object
NSLog(JSON);
} failure:nil];
[operation start];
Add JSON Parser for Objective-c. Its opensource.
SBJSON *parser = [[SBJSON alloc] init];
NSString *tempStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// parse the JSON string into an object - assuming json_string is a NSString of JSON data
id object = [parser objectWithString:tempStr error:nil];
[resultObj release];
resultObj = [object retain];
NSDictionary* myDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:myJsonData
options:0
error:&error];
