How do I prevent NSJSONSerialization from adding extra backslashes to my URL strings?
NSDictionary *info = @{@"myURL":@"http://www.example.com/test"};
NSData data = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:info options:0 error:NULL];
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:policyData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", string);//{"myURL":"http:\/\/www.example.com\/test"}
I can strip the backslashes and use that string but I would like to skip that step if possible...
This worked for me
NSDictionary *policy = ....;
NSData *policyData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:policy options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if(!policyData && error){
NSLog(@"Error creating JSON: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
return;
}
//NSJSONSerialization converts a URL string from http://... to http:\/\/... remove the extra escapes
policyStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:policyData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
policyStr = [policyStr stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\/" withString:@"/"];
policyData = [policyStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
