How to extract the actual NSString from json object as NSArray
- by Toran Billups
I'm working with a large set of json and really just need the NSString representation of what's inside the NSArray -including all the { }
My question is this - is their a better way than simply looping through each NSArray inside the main NSArray and outputting the description one by one?
ie- the below is a start to this process but it's very brittle meaning I need to know each item inside the hat {} and this isn't something I actually care about. I just need the json string to move forward.
The working code is below (thank you in advance!)
NSString* responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[responseData release];
NSArray* json = [responseString JSONValue];
NSArray* item = [json valueForKeyPath:@"d.data"];
NSArray* hatjson = [item objectForKey:@"hat"];
NSMutableString * result = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (NSObject * obj in hatjson)
{
[result appendString:[obj description]];
}
NSLog(@"the hat json is .. %@", result);
