Question

Trying to parse this json and cannot seem to figure it out.

{
description = “Description Variant 1 “;
id = 4;
price = “25.0”;
},
{
description = “Variant 2 Description “;
id = 5;
price = “50.0”;
},
{
description = “Variant 3 Description”;
id = 6;
price = “75.0”;
}

Here is my code, but I get a SigAbt on the NSLog:

- (NSMutableArray *) getVariants:(NSString *)variantJson 
{
    NSMutableArray *variants = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSLog(@"Variant JSON: %@", variantJson);

    NSArray *vars = [variantJson valueForKeyPath:@"variants"];

    for (id var in vars) 
    {
        NSLog(@"description: %@",[var objectForKey:@"description"]);

    }

    return variants;
}

The json coming in to variable: variantJson is the above posted JSON.

iOS doesn’t parse JSON this transparently; you need to run your string through an actual JSON parser library, like SBJson. (BSD-licensed) Or you can use the built-in NSJSONSerialization if you’re targeting OS 5 or later.
