Question

How can i convert this JSON array:

This is a serialized JSON array

    2012-06-18 09:22:07.647 TableView[468:f803] (
                {
                "Countries" = Iceland;
                 "id"=9046567;
                  "name"=abceeeffdsg;


            },
                {
                "Countries" = Greenland;
                "id"=3524695;
                "name"=gsfjgfsethju;
    },
                {
                 "Countries" = Switzerland;
                 "id"=4613583;
                 "name"=hdfkdgs;
        )

But I need to convert this arrays into following arrays:

     {
                   NSArray* Countries =         (
                        Iceland,
                        Greenland,
                        Switzerland,
                    );
NSArray *id=(9046567,3524695,4613583 );
NSArray * name=(abceeeffdsg,gsfjgfsethju,hdfkdgs);
                }

Or else i just wanted to display these items on my table view as a cell..
anyone can suggest some codes and explain this….

Answer 1

This will fetch all countries into an array:

NSArray *countries = [myArrayFromJson valueForKey:@"Countries"];

Note that the second snippet of yours is an NSDictionary with one key (‘Countries’) and an array of values. So it’s not just ‘an array’…

So, if you would really like to have it like this you could do:

// After collecting the values into 'countries' array like above...
NSDictionary *countriesDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:countries forKey:@"Countries"];
