Parsing an FQL result - ios

Question

I'm using FQL to get the names of the nearest 5 places like so:
- (void)facebookPlaces {
NSString *query = #"SELECT name FROM place WHERE distance(latitude, longitude, \"39.750655\", \"-104.999127\") < 500 ORDER BY distance(latitude, longitude, \"23.750655\", \"-180.999127\") limit 5";
// Set up the query parameter
NSDictionary *queryParam = #{ #"q": query };
// Make the API request that uses FQL
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"/fql"
parameters:queryParam
HTTPMethod:#"GET"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
} else {
NSLog(#"Result: %#", result);
// Store the result in an NSData object
NSData *nameData = [result data];
NSLog(#"Test data reads: %#", nameData);
}
}];
The result is neatly returned like this:
Result: {
data = (
{
name = "T|aco";
},
{
name = "ChoLon Bistro";
},
{
name = "Illegal Pete's Lodo";
}, etc...
I stored the data in an NSData object and it reads the exact same way. I would like to parse the result in a way that I can get all of the names in a simple way, and print them to the log. The only way that I could think of was manually parsing the NSData or the result, but I have no idea how to make it only take the stuff in the quotes next to name =. I'm very new to FQL and objective-c, does anyone know how I can do this?
When I researched this, I saw an awesome JSON example that took everything next to name = and stored it in an array. Although it was meant for android and I couldn't figure out how to make it work in iOS. That is ideally what I'm trying to do.

The result is being parsed as a JSON object into an NSDictionary. You can tell because the result object starts with {}. Inside the data key you see an array (denoted by ()).
So to get an array of names you can do this:
NSMutableArray *names = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSDictionary *item in result[#"data"]) {
[names addObject:item[#"name"]];
}
Is this what you're after?
