Parse JSON get from AFNetworking to display in UITableView

Question

Im newly using AFNetworking to get JSON and parse it,I've imported it to my project and got the JSON but i don't know how is it possible to parse the JSON for display especially in Objective-c.

Here is the code in my viewDidLoad to Get JSON :

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager GET:@"http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies.json" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];

The Retrieved JSON for parsing:

  {
        genre =         (
            Action,
            Drama,
            "Sci-Fi"
        );
        image = "http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies/1.jpg";
        rating = "8.300000000000001";
        releaseYear = 2014;
        title = "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes";
    },
        {
        genre =         (
            Action,
            "Sci-Fi",
            Thriller
        );
        image = "http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies/4.jpg";
        rating = "8.4";
        releaseYear = 2014;
        title = "X-Men: Days of Future Past";
    },
        {
        genre =         (
            Action,
            Adventure,
            Fantasy
        );
        image = "http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies/7.jpg";
        rating = "7.3";
        releaseYear = 2014;
        title = "The Amazing Spider-Man 2";
    },
        {
        genre =         (
            Animation,
            Comedy,
            Family
        );
        image = "http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies/9.jpg";
        rating = "8.300000000000001";
        releaseYear = 2013;
        title = Rush;
    },
        {
        genre =         (
            Animation,
            Adventure,
            Family
        );
        image = "http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies/15.jpg";

        rating = "8.199999999999999";
        releaseYear = 2010;
        title = "How to Train Your Dragon";
    }
)

Update :

How is it possible to display it and store the retrieved data so its easier to show it in UITableView. i tried to do like :

NSLog(@"JSON: %@", [responseObject objectForKey:@"image"]);

to get the whole images only but it crashes. i just need to get for example all the titles and store them in array and then display them UITableView.

Answer 1

you try this way to get data from NSDictionary

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager GET:@"http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies.json" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
    self.arrData=[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:responseObject];
    [self.tableView reloadData];// reload table data
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];

TableView Delegate Method

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
       // your cell code here
      // indexPath.row(use in tableView) means your number of index to get value
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", [[self.arrData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"image"]);
    NSLog(@"title: %@", [[self.arrData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"title"]);
    NSLog(@"rating: %@", [[self.arrData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"rating"]);
   NSLog(@"releaseYear: %@", [[self.arrData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"releaseYear"]);
   NSLog(@"genre: %@", [[self.arrData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"genre"]);// return array get value particular using array index 
}
