I have the following data saved as an NSString
:
{
Key = ID;
Value = {
Content = 268;
Type = Text;
};
},
{
Key = ContractTemplateId;
Value = {
Content = 65;
Type = Text;
};
},
I want to convert this data to an NSDictionary
containing the key value pairs.
I am trying first to convert the NSString
to a JSON objects as follows :
NSData *data = [string dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
id json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
However when I try :
NSString * test = [json objectForKey:@"ID"];
NSLog(@"TEST IS %@", test);
I receive the value as NULL
.
Can anyone suggest what is the problem ?
I believe you are misinterpreting the JSON format for key values. You should store your string as
NSString *jsonString = @"{\"ID\":{\"Content\":268,\"type\":\"text\"},\"ContractTemplateID\":{\"Content\":65,\"type\":\"text\"}}";
NSData *data = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
id json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];
Now if you do following NSLog statement
NSLog(@"%@",[json objectForKey:@"ID"]);
Result would be another NSDictionary.
{
Content = 268;
type = text;
}
Hope this helps to get clear understanding.
