Question

I want to create JSON string like {“search_element”: “New York”} this. I used following code for that.

 NSString *JSONString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\"search_element\":""\"%@\"""}",
                            [searchName stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

After doing this I am getting value like {“search_element”:”New%20York”} this. I want it should be New York instead New%20York. I am not getting How to format it for expected result.Please help me.

Answer 1

you can simply call next

    NSString *newString = [JSONString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"%20" withString:@""];

However look into JSONKit and SBJSON ..they have methods to make valid JSON in iOS
