How do i convert a json string with an array of objects to an nsarray with nsdictionaries - IOS

Question

i already found a way to convert a json string like {"a":"b"} to an nsdictionary in IOS. How do i convert a JSON String to a dictionary in IOS5

But is there a way to convert something like that "[{"a":"b"},{"a":"b"},{"a":"b"}]" to an nsarray with nsdictionaries?

I need that for my API but still found no solution.

Hope someone can help me! Thanks

Jonny

Just a guess: Use a JSON parser such as NSJSONSerialization. (Or any of the other half-dozen JSON parsers for Objective-C listed at json.org.) — Hot Licks

It is exactly the same API. -JSONObjectWithData:options:error: will return an NSArray if the top-level item in your JSON is an array.
