7. Working with and Parsing JSON
JSON is a great way to send data back and forth between servers, websites, and iOS apps. It is lighter and easier to handle than XML, and with iOS’s built-in support for JSON, it is easy to integrate into an iOS project. Many popular websites, including Flickr, Twitter, and Google, offer APIs that provide results in JSON format, and many languages offer JSON support. This chapter demonstrates how to parse and present JSON from a sample message-board server in an app, and encode a new message entry in JSON to send to the server.
