NSJSONSerialization Returns Error of NULL - ios

Question

I have the following code :
NSData * jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:location];
NSString* newStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSData *data = [newStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSError *jsonError;
if (jsonError) {
NSLog(#"JSON Error %#", [jsonError localizedDescription]);
}
NSArray * jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:&jsonError];
Which is parsing the following JSON String :
{"author":"Oli Riman","content":"The museum shows us a view of pre-WWI society that includes doubts, fears, political protests etc. through newspaper cartoons of the time. Really interesting for adults who enjoy history. I wouldn't suggest this for kids who haven't studied WWI history or who don't read easily.","rating":"5","placeId":"40","date":"29-June-2015","reviewId":"9905A52D-76B2-4D42-8CA8-9158225C0D07"}
However I am getting a strange error code of :
domain: (null) - code: 0
Can anyone advise on what is causing this ?

Just tested the code on my simulator. Its working. You need to check if you are getting data from server or not.
If you want to test the parsing thing, you can do one thing-
Just store the data in json file and save it in the app bundle lets say file is "data.json"
and call below method, you will get data for sure.
- (void)readJsonData {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"data" ofType:#"json"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *dict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData: data
options: NSJSONReadingAllowFragments
error: &error];
NSLog(#"Parsed json data- %#", dict);
}
