Question

I am reading jason data from my json file, and i am successful in printing the NSarray type arraytsik, now when i try to loop through the arraytsik using enumerateObjectsUsingBlock it’s giving me outup or array with error

 2012-12-17 16:59:04.711 tsikzoeMig[6416:303] here i am printing the array {
    tsik =     (
                {
            author = 2;
            authorName = fgfg;
            dateSubmitted = "2012-08-19 00:00:00";
            dictionaryType = 1;
            id = 1;
            word = fgdf;
            wordDef = fdgdfg;
        },
                {
            author = 2;
            authorName = "\U0f51\U0f74\U0f44\U0f0b\U0f51\U0f40\U0f62\U0f0b\U0f5a\U0f72\U0f42\U0f0b\U0f58\U0f5b\U0f7c\U0f51\U0f0d";

Answer 1

The JSON data contain a dictionary (with one key “tsik”) and not an array.

The following should work better:

NSDictionary *dict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:dataPath] options:kNilOptions error:&err];
NSArray *arraytsik = [dict objectForKey:@"tsik"];

There seems also to be a problem inside the enumerateObjectsUsingBlock block: obj is a dictionary here, so

tsikz.word=[obj objectAtIndex:3];

does not work. Perhaps you meant

tsikz.word=[obj objectForKey:@"word"];

Remark: You could also consider to save the managed object context after the loop has completed instead of saving it for each item added.
