Help parsing a nested JSON object

Question

I have the following JSON:

{
    \"meta\": {
        \"code\": 200
    }, 
    \"response\": {
        \"deals\": [
            {
                   


        

Answer 1

From the JSON you provided, locations is an array (that's what the square brackets mean), so the values that are returned from valueForKey: are contained in NSArray instances (hence the parentheses).

You could use objectAtIndex: before the last call to valueForKey: to obtain just the value you're looking for.

By the way, you can also use valueForKeyPath: to simplify accessing nested values, for example

[deal valueForKeyPath:@"business.name"];
