I want to parse this JSON YouTube recently featured. This is how I get the title of the videos:
NSString *response = [request responseString];
responseDict = [response JSONValue];
videoTitleArray = [responseDict valueForKeyPath:@"feed.entry.title.$t"];
And it works like I want it. But I also want to display the author of the video. But the following code for this does not work properly:
videoAuthorArray = [responseDict valueForKeyPath:@"feed.entry.author.name.$t"];
NSLog(@"%@", videoAuthorArray);
The list of the authors I get looks like this:
(
author 1
),
(
author 2
),
(
author 3
),
(
author 4
),
I can't display the names in for example a table view because of the brackets. How can I display the author names like the video titles?
When you see an Author you see this:
"author":[{"name":{"$t":"mls"},"uri":{"$t":"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/mls"},"yt$userId":{"$t":"SZbXT5TLLW_i-5W8FZpFsg"}}]
this means: author is an array of author objects
each author object has: name
object, a uri
object and a yt$userId
object
each of this objects described above is a NSDictionary
formated we have:
"author":[
{
"name": {
"$t":"mls"
},
"uri": {
"$t":"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/mls"
},
"yt$userId":{
"$t":"SZbXT5TLLW_i-5W8FZpFsg"
}
}
],
so if you have your videoAuthorArray
each element is an NSDictionary
and has this keys: name
, uri
and yt$userId
each of this objects has an NSDictionary
with a single key: $t
witch has the value
