Question

How can I parse a file of this kind:

{"group":"1"}{"group":"2"}{"group":"3"}

Usually I parse in this way:

NSString *fileContent = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:reloadPath];  

SBJsonParser *parser = [[SBJsonParser alloc] init];

NSDictionary *data = (NSDictionary *) [parser objectWithString:fileContent error:nil];  

// getting the data from inside of "menu"  

//NSString *message = (NSString *) [data objectForKey:@"message"];
//NSString *name = (NSString *) [data objectForKey:@"name"];

NSArray *messagearray = [data objectForKey:@"message"];
NSArray *namearray    = [data objectForKey:@"name"];


NSDictionary* Dictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:messagearray forKeys:namearray];

…objects of this king…

{"message":["Besth"],"name":["thgh"]}

…but in the type I want to parse, which is the key and object??

By the way I want to retrieve a list like this: 1, 2, 3, …

This is not valid JSON. You can validate for example at: http://jsonlint.com

You could rewrite it as valid JSON like so:

{
    "some_groups": [
        {
            "group": "1"
        },
        {
            "group": "2"
        },
        {
            "group": "3"
        }
    ]
}

Then you could extract the data by doing something like this:

NSArray *groups = [data objectForKey:@"some_groups"];

for (NSDictionary *group in groups) {
    NSLog(@"group number: %@", [group valueForKey:@"group"]);
}
