Question

I am trying to convert raw json string to NSDictionary. but on NSDictionary i got different order of objects as on json string but i need exactly same order in NSDictionary as on json string. following is code i have used to convert json string

 SBJSON *objJson = [[SBJSON alloc] init];
 NSError *error = nil;
 NSDictionary *dictResults = [objJson objectWithString:jsonString error:&error];

Answer 1

From NSDictionary’s class reference:

The order of the keys is not defined.

So, basically you can’t do this when using a standard NSDictionary.

However, this may be a good reason for subclassing NSDictionary itself. See this question about the details.
