I'm converting diverse JSON objects to structured objects and want to iterate over all the nodes to process each one hierarchically. JSON framework supports conversion to an NSDictionary, which I thought was unstructured. I want to recursively iterate through each item and pay respect to the structure. How would this be done with either a dictionary or generic NSOBject?
Example:
- (void) processParsedObject:(NSDictionary *)obj
{
if (atTheEndOfTheTail) {
NSLog(@"Object description: %@\n\n", obj.description);
}
for (id object in obj) {
[self processParsedObject:object];
}
}
Update:
I asked the question more clearly here (with answer):
Recursively traverse NSDictionary of unknown structure
You can enumerate all the keys in an NSDictionary using:
ReplyDeleteNSEnumerator* keyEnum = [myDictionary keyEnumerator];
NSObject* nextKey;
while ((nextKey = [keyEnum nextObject]) != nil)
{
NSObject* nextValue = [myDictionary objectForKey:nextKey];
//... do something with the object and/or key ...
}
