Question

I’m using Json framework in my project.

I parse the Json response as follow,

- (void)parseResponse:(NSData*)responseData
{
    NSMutableString *responseString = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSDictionary *responseDic = [responseString JSONValue];
    NSString *responseDataString = [responseDic objectForKey:NSLocalizedString(@"JSON_RESPONSE_DICTIONARY_KEY", nil)];

    [responseString release];
}

So, is it correct if I call release on responseString as I had done ??

Edited

I did as follow,

NSMutableString *responseString = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSDictionary *responseDic = [responseString JSONValue]; 
NSString *responseDataString = [responseDic objectForKey:NSLocalizedString(@"JSON_RESPONSE_DICTIONARY_KEY", nil)];
NSDictionary *responseDataDic = [responseDataString JSONValue];
[responseString release];

I think now I’m safe.

Yes,

if you create an object using a method whose name begins with “alloc”,
“new”, “copy”, or “mutableCopy”. you must release that objects.
