I have an NSDictionary and am trying to access the 'venue' key and assign various keys such as name. I've tried to take the dictionary and access venue with no luck:
NSDictionary *dic = result;
NSArray *venues1 = [dic valueForKeyPath:#"response.groups.items.venue"];
How would I access venue?
{
meta = {
code = 200;
};
response = {
groups = (
{
items = (
{
venue = {
name = "Ping Tom Memorial Park";
you can access it in this way
NSDictionary *venues1 = dic[#"response"][#"groups"][0][#"items"][0][#"venue"];
be careful that groups, items are arrays and venue is a dictionary instead of array.

I receive following NSDictionary from my server. I don't know how to access each row and put them in UITableView. I need a for loop or something to access each of them one by one: I get following when I say:
NSLog(#"%#",dict);
{
chores = (
{
"first_due_date" = "2016-03-12";
frequency = weekly;
id = 1;
name = TEST;
parent = Blah;
"previous_chores" = (
);
},
{
"first_due_date" = "2016-03-12";
frequency = weekly;
id = 2;
name = TEST2;
parent = Blah;
"previous_chores" = (
);
},
{
"first_due_date" = "2016-03-12";
frequency = weekly;
id = 3;
name = TEST3;
parent = Blah;
"previous_chores" = (
);
}
);
}
I guess you can directly use the array without split it like following:
Suppose you have an array with dictionary and inside the dictionary as your data and kiran said:
NSArray *arrChores = [dict valueForKey #"Chores"];
Your array look like 0th index is:
{
"first_due_date" = "2016-03-12";
frequency = weekly;
id = 1;
name = TEST;
parent = Blah;
"previous_chores" = (
);
}
so you can print the name like following in cellForrowIndex:
NSLog(#"=== %#",[[arrChores objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]valueForKey:#"name"])
More easy and less maintain :)
Create a model for Chores.
Looking at the dictionary.
Chores is an array consisting of dictionaries in it.
So you can have array like this
arrChoresGlobal = [NSMutableArray new];
NSArray *arrChores = [dict valueForKey #"Chores"];
Then iterate this array and have a model.
like below
for(NSDictionary *dctChore in arrChores)
{
SomeModel *obj = [SomeModel new];
obj.first_due_date = [dctChore valueForKey:#"first_due_date"];
[arrChoresGlobal addObject:obj];
}
Then use this array count in numberOfRows in tableview
return [arrChoresGlobal count];
and in cellForRowAtIndexPath
SomeModel *obj = [arrChoresGlobal objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
Edit :- Longer but systematic way :)
I'm using the Edmunds API to return a JSON string of vehicle makes for a certain year.
The resulting NSDictionary looks like this:
makes = (
{
id = 200002038;
models = (
{ // not relevant
}
);
name = Acura;
niceName = acura;
},
{
id = 200001769;
models = (
{ // not relevant
}
);
name = "Aston Martin";
niceName = "aston-martin";
},
There are a lot more values in this dictionary...how can I loop through through the dictionary to retrieve each of the 'name' values?
I like valueForKeyPath because you can do so much with it and it's a one line solution. Tested this and it works in my dev setup. If you know your data is in a predictable format, then you can do amazing things with valueForKeyPath.
NSArray *makeNames = [makes valueForKeyPath:#"name"];
Great info on valueForKeyPath http://nshipster.com/kvc-collection-operators/
NSMutableArray *makeNames = [NSMutableArray new];
for (NSDictionary *make in makes) {
NSLog(#"Make name: %#", make[#"name"]);
[makeNames addObject:make];
}
NSLog(#"Makes array: %#", makeNames);
I am trying to correctly target the elements within the Json Output and I am getting closer but I presume there is a easy and obvious way I am missing.
My Json looks like this with a upper level event.
JSON SNIPPET UPDATED
chat = (
(
{
Key = senderId;
Value = {
Type = 0;
Value = "eu-west-1:91afbc3f-890a-4160-8903-688bf0e9efe8";
};
},
{
Key = chatId;
Value = {
Type = 0;
Value = "eu-west-1:be6457ce-bac1-412d-9307-e375e52e22ff";
};
},
{
Key = timestamp;
Value = {
Type = 1;
Value = 1430431197;
};
},
//Continued
I am targeting this level using
NSArray *chat = array[#"chat"];
for ( NSDictionary *theCourse in chat )
{
NSLog(#"---- %#", theCourse);
// I tried the following to target the values
//NSLog(#"chatId: %#", [theCourse valueForKey:#"Key"]);
//NSLog(#"timestamp: %#", theCourse[#"senderId"] );
}
}
I need to parse the value data for each key which if I was using an array would do like [theCourse valueForKey:#"Key"] but I think I may not be going deep enough?
As you would expect, [theCourse valueForKey:#"Key"] gives me the Key values but I need the associate values of those keys.
You can create an easier dictionary:
NSArray *chat = array[#"chat"][0];
NSMutableDictionary* newDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for (NSDictionary* d in chat)
[newDict setValue:d[#"Value"][#"Value"] forKey:d[#"Key"]];
Now you can use the newDict.
NSLog(#"chatId: %#", [newDict valueForKey:#"chatId"]);
Hi I have this JSON I'm trying to parse using NSDictionary and trying to get the values as mentioned . but the problem is i do not get a key when i further go into the JSON is there any way to remove this key to go more deep.
NSDictionary *Allinfo = [json objectForKey:#"Collection"];//I go into "Collection"
NSLog(#"All with response array: %#", Allinfo);
NSDictionary *datainfo = [Allinfo objectForKey:#"contact"];//i go into "contact"
after which i get
Data : (
{
attributeList = {
attribute = (
{
name = "display-name";
value = "tel:+";
},
{
name = capabilities;
value = "TRANSFER";
},
{
name = relationship;
value = ACCEPTED;
}
);
resourceURL = "https://example.com";
};
contactId = "tel:+";
},
{
attributeList = {
attribute = (
{
name = "display-name";
value = bob;
},
{
name = capabilities;
value = "TRANSFER";
},
{
name = relationship;
value = ACCEPTED;
}
);
resourceURL = "https://example.com";
};
contactId = "tel:+";
}
)
This starts from a { and i do not get a key for the next object so that i can get the values inside the JSOn
Is there any easier way to remove this or any other so that i can get values like name and value and store them in an array.
Thanks in advance
You have keys for all.
In fact you seem to get confused on array which is a part of attribute.
The outermost key is Data which contains array.
For each object of the array you have :
The first key is attributeList & contactD.
The value of attribute key is an array of 3 values. Each array contains key value pairs. keys are name & value.
I am not sure from where you got [Allinfo objectForKey:#"contact"]. Try to parse like below..
NSDictionary *Allinfo = [json objectForKey:#"Collection"];
NSArray *dataArray = [Allinfo objectForKey:#"Data"];
for(NSDictionary *dic in dataArray)
{
NSDictionary *attributeList=[dic objectForKey:#"attributeList"];
NSArray *attributeArray=[attributeList objectForKey:#"attribute"];
NSString *resourceURLString=[attributeList objectForKey:#"resourceURL"];
NSString *contactIdString=[dic objectForKey:#"contactId"];
for(NSDictionary *attributeDic in attributeArray)
{
NSString *nameString=[attributeDic objectForKey:#"name"];
NSString *valueString=[attributeDic objectForKey:#"value"];
}
}
You can use the following method for this
NSError *e = nil;
NSArray *itemArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:[response dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options: NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error: &e];
if (!itemArray) {
NSLog(#"Error parsing JSON: %#", e);
} else {
for(NSDictionary *item in itemArray) {
//Your Data
}
}
Hi i have two Arrays one being Parsed Data that has multiple entries at each cell (FolderName & ID) i want this data to be saved into another array like it is stored in the first array
FilteredData = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:[ParsedData ValueForKey:#"FolderName"]];
SearchData = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:FilteredData];
This is what i have been trying, The data Containing a dictionary at each entry is ParsedData, And the Array in which i have to copy these items is SearchData.
The Array (Parsed Data) Containing the dictionary looks like this
PARSED DATA (
{
CreatedBy = 1;
FolderName = Posteingang;
ID = 13000;
ParentID = 0;
},
{
CreatedBy = 1;
FolderName = Freigaben;
ID = 13001;
ParentID = 0;
},
From this Array I need to Get the FolderName And the ID and get them in the SearchData Array
SearchData (
Posteingang;
13000;
Freigaben;
13001;
)
I hope the question is clear now
check this one,
NSMutableArray *searchData = [NSMutableArray new];
for(NSDictionary *dict in ParsedDataArray){//here ParsedDataArray means PARSED DATA array name
NSDictionary *tempDict=[[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:[dict ValueForKey:#"FolderName"],#"FolderName",[dict ValueForKey:#"ID"],#"ID" nil],
[searchData addObject:dict];
}
It seems like you misspelled the method name, it should be:
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
Notice the "s" after Object.
I want a dictionary inside an array which contains foldername and id
So you can get it using this:
NSMutableArray *searchData = [NSMutableArray new];
for(NSDictionary *dict in parsedDataArray){
NSDictionary *tempDict=#{#"FolderName":dict[#"FolderName"],
#"ID":dict[#"ID"]};
[searchData addObject:tempDict];
}
EDIT:
#[#"key:#"object"] is the new dictionary literal.
If you are using Xcode 4.3 or older need to do as:
NSDictionary *tempDict=#{#"FolderName":dict[#"FolderName"],
#"ID":dict[#"ID"]};
means,
NSDictionary *tempDict=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[dict objectForKey:#"FolderName"], #"FolderName",[dict objectForKey:#"ID"],#"ID", nil];
