IOS开发之把 Array 和 Dictionaries 序列化成 JSON 对象

1 前言
通过 NSJSONSerialization 这个类的 dataWithJSONObject:options:error:方法来实现,Array 和 dictionary 序列化成 JSON 对象。方便在网络中传输。

(void)converseToJson{ 
    NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init]; 
    [dictionary setValue:@"Archy" forKey:@"First Name"]; 
    [dictionary setValue:@"Robbins" forKey:@"Last Name"];

    NSError *error = nil; 
    //NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted:指定生成的JSON数据应使用空格旨在使输出更加可读。如果这个选项是没有设置,最紧凑的可能生成JSON表示。

        NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; 
        NSLog(@"JSON String = %@", jsonString);
