How to use NSJSONSerialization

Question

I have a JSON string (from PHP\'s json_encode() that looks like this:

[{\"id\": \"1\", \"name\":\"Aaa\"}, {\"id\": \"2\", \"name\":\"Bbb\"}]
         


        

Answer 1

[{"id": "1", "name":"Aaa"}, {"id": "2", "name":"Bbb"}]

In above JSON data, you are showing that we have an array contaning the number of dictionaries.

You need to use this code for parsing it:

NSError *e = nil;
NSArray *JSONarray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData: data options: NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error: &e];
        for(int i=0;i<[JSONarray count];i++)
        {
            NSLog(@"%@",[[JSONarray objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:@"id"]);
             NSLog(@"%@",[[JSONarray objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:@"name"]);
        }

For swift 3/3+

   //Pass The response data & get the Array
    let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as! [AnyObject]
    print(jsonData)
    // considering we are going to get array of dictionary from url

    for  item  in jsonData {
        let dictInfo = item as! [String:AnyObject]
        print(dictInfo["id"])
        print(dictInfo["name"])
    }
