Below is my code to access the JSON API from Edmunds.com, this works perfectly to access the information I am just having trouble with accessing the key, value pairs.
NSURL *equipmentURL = [NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.edmunds.com/api/vehicle/v2/styles/%@/equipment?fmt=json&api_key=%@", self.carID, apiKey]];
NSData *jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:equipmentURL];
NSError *error = nil;
NSDictionary *dataDictionary = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:0 error:&error];
self.engineArray = [NSMutableArray array];
NSArray *equipmentArray = [dataDictionary objectForKey:@"equipment"];
for (NSDictionary *carInfoDictionary in equipmentArray) {
NSArray *attributes = [carInfoDictionary objectForKey:@"attributes"];
NSLog(@"%@", attributes);
}
In the NSLog from the above code shows this:
2016-11-03 10:21:26.029 CarWise[25766:1896339] (
{
name = "Engine Immobilizer";
value = "engine immobilizer";
},
{
name = "Power Door Locks";
value = "hands-free entry";
},
{
name = "Anti Theft Alarm System";
value = "remote anti-theft alarm system";
}
)
My main question is how can I access the name and value for each array? Let's say I want to create a UILabel that will have the string of one of the values?
Probably this will help
// Array as per the post
NSArray *attributes = (NSArray *)[carInfoDictionary objectForKey:@"attributes"];
// Loop to iterate over the array of objects(Dictionary)
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.count; i++) {
NSDictionary * dataObject = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:(NSDictionary *)attributes[i]];
// This is the value for key "Name"
NSString *nameData = [NSString stringWithString:[dataObject valueForKey:@"name"]];
NSLog(@"Value of key : (name) : %@", nameData);
}
