How to create a basic JSON string in iOS

Question

How can I create a basic JSON string? When I assign the the JSON value in NSString I get a semicolon error. How do I create this string without errors? Could you guys help me out? The code is below:

NSString *dam= @" {
    "Id": 23, "Ratings": {
    Picnicvanlig: 4, Barn Valning: 2, Badvanling: 5, etc..:3
}, "UserId": [email protected]
}";

Glad to help. You do understand where the error came from? Objective-C (really, C in this case) thinks you're ending the string when it sees the second " character... you have to tell the compiler which double-quote characters are part of the string by 'escaping' them with a slash in front. — QED

Escape your quoted quotes:

NSString *dam= @"{\"Id\": 23, \"Ratings\": {\"Picnicvanlig\" : 4, \"Barn Valning\": 2, \"Badvanling\" : 5, \"etc..\" : 3 }, \"UserId\": \"[email protected]\"}";

Better yet, read Apple's JSON stuff.

The string above is still not a JSON string. All of the keys have to be quoted and so does the email address.
