Question

I got this data from my server using JSON:

{
    ID = 198;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
    dtTime = "06:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Devotional Hits";
}
{
    ID = 199;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
    dtTime = "07:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Old Malayalam Hits";
    }
{
    ID = 200;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
    dtTime = "08:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Malayalam New Hits";
}
{
    ID = 201;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
    dtTime = "09:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Melody Songs";
}
{
    ID = 202;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
    dtTime = "10:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Jayachandran Hits";
}
{
    ID = 203;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
   dtTime = "11:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Yesudas Hits";
 }
 {
    ID = 204;
    dtDate = "2012-03-14 00:00:00";
    dtTime = "12:00:00";
    iPublished = 1;
    sProgram = "Ilayaraja Hits";
  }

I need to split this data and store sProgram data into an array.. need help.

I need to split this format and I want sProgram and dtTime separately. What should I do for that. I’m a little bit confused about string formatting.

If you are using < IOS 5, add SBJSON to your project

//in some.m file

#import JSON.h

// Lets say NSString *recievedValue contains your JSON response.

id jsonRep = [receivedValue jsonValue];
if([jsonRep isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]])
{
   // returned JSON Value has a array structure.
   NSArray *value = (NSArray *)jsonRep;
   //You can access values using objectAtIndex: method if you already know the Index of a value, in your case i think each array object is a NSDictionary
   if([[value objectAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]])
   {
     // returned JSON Value has a key value compliant structure.
     NSDictionary *dicValue = (NSDictionary *)[value objectAtIndex:0];
     //You can access values using objectForKey: method if you already know the key value, in your case it can be @"sProgram" for example
   }
}
else if([jsonRep isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]])
{
   // returned JSON Value has a key value compliant structure.
   NSDictionary *value = (NSDictionary *)jsonRep;
   //You can access values using objectForKey: method if you already know the key value, in your case it can be @"sProgram" for example
}
