I am using RestKit, i have send a single GET request to get a bulk data to a URL like this
api/exemptions?ids=203,1985,21855
What path pattern can be set for this in RestKit response descriptor?
I know for predefined number of dynamic argument we can use something like this #"/api/sms/confirmation/:arg1/:arg2"
but above mentioned case is new for me.
EDIT
I found that parameter argument in
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] getObjectsAtPath:path parameters:nil
will do the job, but it requires a dictionary so i am giving it an example dictionary NSDictionary *args = #{ #"ids" : #[#"1",#"2",#"3",#"4"] };
when executed this encoded url is generated
http://../api/exemptions?&ids%5B%5D=1&ids%5B%5D=2&ids%5B%5D=3&ids%5B%5D=4
"ids" key is repeating, what is going wrong here.
EDIT # 2
URL encoding problem is solved, but the main problem still persists, path pattern is not matching on response, I am using this path pattern currently
pathPattern:#"/api/exemptions?&ids"
for this url /api/exemptions?ids=203,1985,21855
i have also tried pathPattern:#"/api/exemptions?&ids="
Please help, This is becoming huge pain.
Based on your sample code and response, have you tried:
NSDictionary *args = #{ #"ids": [#[#"1", #"2"] componentsJoinedByString: #","] };
This looks like it would encode with the desired value, since the joining leads to a dictionary value of #{ #"ids": #"1,2" }.

_TtCs21_SwiftDeferredNSArray 0x7c615620 what does this error mean??
Array is a value type and it's not an object, but a struct. So it doesn't conform to AnyObject protocol. Use Any instead of AnyObject. See more details here and here.
Check that you are using JSON parameter encoding, not URL encoding.
You may be having the same problem I was having. I was seeing <_TtCs21_SwiftDeferredNSArray 0x7c615620> appear in my requests too. When I changed to JSON encoding, everything worked. I don't think a dictionary structure like that can be properly URL encoded. I'm not sure how you're actually making the request or I would post code.
I'm currently using SMXMLDocument as my parser and so far it does a fantastic job parsing some XML files. The only problem that I have encountered is that it cannot seem to handle children with the same name, well at least in my case. But this parser can return the parsed XML as an NSArray.
The NSArray would look like this:
(
"<id>https://spreadsheets.goog\U2026</id>",
"<updated>2013-12-23T17:54:04.814Z</updated>",
"<category term=\"http://schemas.google.com/spreadsheets/2006#cell\" scheme=\"http://schemas.google.com/spreadsheets/2006\"/>",
"<title type=\"text\">A1</title>",
"<content type=\"text\">What?</content>",
"<link rel=\"self\" type=\"application/atom+xml\" href=\"https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/some key/od6/private/full/R1C1\"/>",
"<link rel=\"edit\" type=\"application/atom+xml\" href=\"https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/some key/18o84x\"/>",
"<cell row=\"1\" col=\"1\" inputValue=\"What?\">What?</cell>",
"<id>A1</id>",
"<status code=\"200\" reason=\"Success\"/>",
"<operation type=\"update\"/>")
So my question is, how would I get the values (and attributes) from the XML? If there is a way to tokenize this (ie going through the array as an NSString with a for-in loop or something) without having to use a big fancy library that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Update:
Here is the NSLog of what happens if I try to get id with SMXMLDocument:
Code:
SMXMLElement* testEntry = [feed childNamed:#"entry"];
NSLog(#"id: %#", [testEntry valueWithPath:#"id"]);
Output:
id: https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/some key/od6/private/full/R1C1
After hours of battling with the code, I ended up using another parser (as a secondary) called SHXMLParser because of it's neat syntax. It is capable returning multiple values from nodes with the same name as an NSArray. From there I just compared the contents in the array and picked the one I wanted.
I have been trying to parse an XML file and all is going well except for one thing.
this is what my XML looks like:
<portfolio>
<item>
<image url="http://www.google.com" />
<title>my first title here.</title>
<desc>my first description here...</desc>
<date>15/07/2010</date>
<skills>skills 1, skills 2, skills 3</skills>
</item>
</portfolio>
I have been parsing: title, desc, date, and skills perfectly. The only issue I am having is parsing the image url. I am using this simple parser: https://github.com/robertmryan/Simple-XML-Parser
Anyway this is how I am setting up the element names to parse:
parser.elementNames = #[#"image", #"title", #"desc", #"date", #"skills"];
Anyway what do I feed into the element name for the image url based upon the XML snippet I gave above?
Thanks!
Edit:
I logged the dictionary it returns after trying the following 3 bits of code:
parser.attributeNames = #[#"image url"];
parser.attributeNames = #[#"image"];
parser.attributeNames = #[#"url"];
Each one of those (after being parsed), returns a dictionary which I logged as this:
dict keys: (
title,
skills,
desc,
date
)
So something is not working right.
The image element has a url attribute so you need to specify that you want the attribute to be parsed out too. Do this by setting the value of the attributeNames property on your parser.
This parser is really basic though so it has some limitations. Most important for you is that attributeNames is only used on the 'main' element (specified with rowElementName) so to do what you want to do you will need to edit the parser class to change that.
I am seeing a strange issue in Rails.

JSON Parsed Params (params[:renewals]): https://gist.github.com/t2/5566652
Notice in the JSON that the driver_1 information is missing on the last record. Not sure why this is. The data is in the request. Any known bug I am missing? Let me know if you need more info.
Unfortunately this is just how Rails parses JSON like this (where your [] is massively nested). I've come up against this before - http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#combining-them gave some explanation.
From what I remember, if you can put in numeric keys rather than just [] (i.e. [1] for the first one, [2] for the second etc.) then it will work as you want it to.
So I figured it out. I needed to set the requestSerializationMIMEType to RKMIMETypeJSON.
I have a string (from HTTP Header) and want to split it into a dictionary.
foo = \"bar\",baz=\"fooz\", beta= \"gamma\"
I ca not guarantee that the string is the same every time. Maybe there are spaces, maybe not, sometimes the double quotes are escaped, sometimes not.
So I found the solution in PHP with regular expressions. Unfortunately I can't convert it to work on iOS.
preg_match_all('#('.$key.')=(?:([\'"])([^\2]+?)\2|([^\s,]+))#', $input, $hits, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach ($hits as $hit) {
$data[hit[1]] = $hit[3] ? $hit[3] : $hit[4];
}
Can anybody help me converting this to Objective-C?
I met a guy which is kinda RegEx guru. He explained the whole stuff and I got the following (working!!!!) solution in RegEx.
This gives me strings like foo="bar":
(?<=[,\\s])((realm|qop|nonce|opaque)=(?:([\"'])([^\2]+?)\2|([^\\s,]+)))
I then use another RegEx to split it by key and value to create a dictionary.
