NSJSONSerialization from NSString

Question

Is it possible if I have a NSString and I want to use NSJSONSerialization? How do I do this?

Answer 1

I wrote a blog post that demonstrates how to wrap the native iOS JSON class in a general protocol together with an implementation that use the native iOS JSON class.

This approach makes it a lot easier to use the native functionality and reduces the amount of code you have to write. Furthermore, it makes it a lot easier to switch out the native implementation with, say, JSONKit, if the native one would prove to be insufficient.

The blog post contains all the code you need. Just copy / paste :)

Hope it helps!
