I'm trying to build some objects using data obtained from json.
Unfortunately I keep having problems accessing the elements with all attempts to solve failing, despite the numerous attempts.
The code is:
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:[[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:restURL] queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init] completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Log error thing: %@", error);
} else {
NSLog(@"THE DATA IS REAL: %@", data);
NSMutableArray* jsonArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
NSLog(@"%@", jsonArray);
for (NSDictionary *item in jsonArray){
NSString *val = item[@"title"];
NSLog(@"AN ITEM: %@ %@", item, val);
}
}
}];
The line for 'the Data is real is printed, the json currently only contains one item but will have more and is structured like so:

NSLog(@"%@", jsonArray);
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonArray options:kNilOptions error:nil];
// NSLog(@"Dictionary: %@", [json objectForKey:@"title"]);
}
The error that I get occurs when I try and access the elements, in this instance it's where i iterate over the items in jSonarray.

Thank you for any help, very much appreciated.
Can you try this on parsing:
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Log error thing: %@", error);
} else {
NSLog(@"THE DATA IS REAL: %@", data);
// this will be your actaul dictionary
NSDictionary *jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:nil]];
// Array of Timelines
NSArray* timelineArray = jsonObject[@"timelines"];
NSLog(@"%@", timelineArray);
// Get Title from Timeline Dictionary
if (timelineArray.count > 0){
NSDictionary *timelineDictionary = timelineArray.firstObject;
NSLog(@"Title: %@", timelineDictionary[@"title"]);
}
}
