I’m using the JSON-FRAMEWORK in objective C to parse a JSON object.
When I call [jsonString JSONValue], I get back a dictionary, but the keys aren’t in the same order as the JSON Object I’m parsing. Is there anyway to keep this order the same?
In JSON objects, by definition, the order of the key-value pairs is not meaningful. The specification allows a JSON producer to permute them any way it want, even at random — and does not require a parser to preserve the ordering. RFC 4627 says:
If you need the ordering to be preserved, what you have is not JSON, but a home-defined format that just happens to look superficially like JSON.
