SBJson Parsing without a key

Question

I have this json string by getting a response from using singleton client(RestKit).

[
   {
      "created_at":"Tue Apr 24 19:25:14 +0000 2012",
      "id":132456,
   },
   {
      "created_at":"Tue Apr 24 19:25:14 +0000 2012",
      "id":13456,
   },
]

I got this result by

NSDictionary *results = [[response bodyAsString] JSONValue];

which results to this

(
   {
      "created_at" = "Tue Apr 24 19:25:14 +0000 2012";
      "id"=132456;
   }
   {
      "created_at" = "Tue Apr 24 19:25:14 +0000 2012";
      "id"=132456;
   }
)

as NSDictionary.

As you can see there is no key available for me to get. If so, I would have done a code like this NSMutableArray *block = [results objectForKey:@"key"];. I tried to put and empty string for objectForKey but it doesn't work and gave me an error "objectForKey".

Question: How can I parse every block to put it inside an array without a key?

Please help! Thanks!

Answer 1

This actually is an Array of 2 Dictionaries. Change your code:

NSDictionary *results = [[response bodyAsString] JSONValue];

to

NSArray *results = [[response bodyAsString] JSONValue];

Then you can use a For-In to get all the Dictionaries from that array if you need to. The Key appears to be the id attribute.

So for the first one in the array:

NSDictionary *dictionary = (NSDictionary *)[results objectAtIndex:0];
NSInteger myKey = [[dictionary valueForKey@"id"] intValue];
