Question

This is my JSON

{
    0 = "2011-11-11";
    1 = "2011-12-31";
    endDate = "2011-12-31";
    startDate = "2011-11-11";
}

My code is

NSString *dateString = [jsonDict  objectForKey:@"0"]

// Convert string to date object
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"EE, d LLLL yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:dateString]; 
[dateFormat release];

But this code is not working.

How do I convert JSON data into date format?

Answer 1

You’re using the wrong format in setDateFormat. You should be using:

NSString *dateString = [jsonDict  objectForKey:@"0"]

// Convert string to date object
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:dateString]; 
[dateFormat release];
