Accessing json structure to capture data in iOS. - ios

Question

I have the following code and it is working to an extent :
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://localhost:8888/service.php"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:strURL];
NSData * data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
NSError * error;
NSMutableDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
AdObject *someAdObject = [[AdObject alloc] init];
//NSLog(#"%#", json);
self.detailLabel.text = self.tempString;
}
Now when the commented out NSLog actually prints the JSON dictionary, I get :
{
brand = "";
category = Games;
country = "Japan";
"discount_rate" = 50;
duration = 5;
id = 1;
"issue_date" = "2014-04-07";
location = "Heishi Mall";
title = "Gamestory videogames sales!";
user = "";
}
)
I created an Ad object which has properties such as title, location, country, etc (as reflected above). I would like to access the JSON above and store value in object variables.

Answer 1

You can access that values :-
for(NSDictionary *item in json) {
NSLog(#"%#",[item valueForKey:#"key"]);
someAdObject.key = [item valueForKey:#"key"];
}

Answer 2

Try this and review your json also
AdObject *someAdObject = nil;
for(NSDictionary *item in json) {
someAdObject = [[AdObject alloc] init];
someAdObject.category = [item valueForKey#"category"];
someAdObject.country = [item valueForKey#"country"];
someAdObject.discount_rate = [item valueForKey#"discount_rate"];
someAdObject.duration = [item valueForKey#"duration"];
//and same all of your required object properties
}
