parse json feeds using jsonkit iOS [closed]

Answer 1

I would becareful about making the assumption that objectFromJSONString is returns an NSDictionary, it can very well return an array, or nil, especially if the server returns some rarely used and thought of error.

A more appropriate action would be:

NSError *error;
id rawData = [jsonString objectFromJSONStringWithParseOptions:JKParseOptionNone error:&error];

if ( error != nil ) {
    // evaluate the error and handle appropriately
}

if ( [rawData isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]] ) {
    // process dictionary
}
else if ( [rawData isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]] ) {
    // process array
}
else {
    // someting else happened, 'rawData' is likely 'nil'
    // handle appropriately
}

Without these checks, you could very well end up with a runtime error because the server returned someting unexpected.
