I am calling an API, which should return a JSON file. Here is the API link: http://sg.media-imdb.com/suggests/h/hello.json

The problem is: this JSON file has something wrapping the JSON response

imdb$hello(JSON)

So the best approch that I can see is to use a regex expression to extract only what I need. Something like: ~/\((.*)\)/.

However I would like to use the new JSON iOS5 API, which (as far as i know) only accepts NSData as input. So, I don’t want to convert my response from NSData to NSString, parse that using regex, and put that in another NSData object.

Can anyone see a better/cleaner solution for that JSON parsing?

    What you have isn’t JSON, but JSONP. If you’re not in JavaScript, I believe the correct way to handle is just as you say, preprocess and then parse.
