Question

I Am trying to parse a Youtube playlist:

If my JSON is structured like:

{"apiVersion" .... 
"items":[{"id2":"some-id","title":"songtitle",

I am perfectly able to parse the title via:

// Fill array
NSArray *items = [json objectForKey:@"items"];

// Get item from tableData
NSDictionary *item = [tableData objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
// Set text on textLabel
[[cell textLabel] setText:[item objectForKey:@"title"]];

But if the JSON is like:

{"apiVersion" .... 
"items":[{"id1": .... "video":{"id2":"some-id","title":"songtitle",

How can i reach the nested object title?

Just a simple thing, but i am banging my head on this for hours now. Gets frustrating, thanks for your suggestions!

[EDIT]
This is the full structure:

{
    "items":
    [
    {
    "video":
            {
                "title": "Number One",
                "description": "Description one"
            },    
            {
             "title": "Number two",
                "description": "Description two"
            },
            {
                "title": "Number three",
                "description": "Description three"
            }
    },
    {   
    "video":
            {
         "title": "Number One",
             "description": "Description one"
            },
            {
                "title": "Number two",
              "description": "Description two"
            },
            {
               "title": "Number three",
              "description": "Description three"
            }
    }

    ]
}

The problem is that your json is not valid. All the titles should be in array right? So they have to be in [ ]. You can use for example the following site to “debug” your json:

Also, in iOS 5 you can use the new built-in JSON api. Here is a nice tutorial for that:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/5492/working-with-json-in-ios-5

Nevertheless, here is how your json should look like I guess:

{
   "items":[
      {
         "video":[
            {
               "title":"Number One",
               "description":"Description one"
            },
            {
               "title":"Number two",
               "description":"Description two"
            },
            {
               "title":"Number three",
               "description":"Description three"
            }
         ]
      },
      {
         "video":[
            {
               "title":"Number One",
               "description":"Description one"
            },
            {
               "title":"Number two",
               "description":"Description two"
            },
            {
               "title":"Number three",
               "description":"Description three"
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

Good luck with your project 😉
