@implementation NSString (urlTools)

NSLog(@”URL in String: %@”, targetUrl);
NSURL *location = [NSURL URLWithString:targetUrl];
NSError *error = nil;
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:location encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
if (error) NSLog(@”Something went wrong %d, %@”, [error code], [error localizedDescription]);
return content;
}

@end

u have to import the file into the project and than just use:

NSString *data = [NSString stringWithUrlInUtf8:@"http://www.example.com/your-json-file.json"];

And that’s it :)

I wrote a full tutorial about parsing JSON yesterday:

Are you from Brazil or Portugal??? If so, we can speak in Portuguese maybe???

Well, i need to parse a json response from http://geocoding.cloudmade.com/144de75073a54825818c7ffada69dadd/geocoding/v2/find.js?object_type=hospital&around=51.51384,-0.10952&distance=2000 for example but i really don’t know how to do it.
