The problem is that what you posted is not json. It should be
{
"products":[
{
"id":19,
"image_url":"http://localhost:8888/straightoffer/image/data/1330374078photography.jpg",
"name":"Save $240 on your next photo session"
},
{
"id":21,
"image_url":"http://localhost:8888/straightoffer/image/data/1330373696massage.jpg",
"name":"One Hour Massage"
}
]
}
You can use http://jsonlint.com/ to validate your json files.
I have used the above json file and did the following:
NSBundle* bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSString *jsonPath = [bundle pathForResource:#"data" ofType:#"json"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:jsonPath];
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *products = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
DLog(#"products: %i", [[products objectForKey:#"products"] count] );
[self.tableView reloadData];
Result is: products: 2.
You should be able to reproduce this.
