Heres the code i am using in didFinishLoadingWithRequest

-(void)network:(WNetwork*)network didFinishLoadingWithRequest:(NSInteger)pReq data:(NSMutableDictionary*)pData
{
    [self removeLoader];

    switch (pReq) {
        case JBJsonParser:
        {
            NSArray *parsedString = [pData objectForKey:@"placesname"];
            DLog(@"LIST %@",parsedString);
        }
    break;      
        default:
            break;
}

}

in the network class i am using dis code:

{
    SBJSON *parser = [SBJSON new];      
    NSString *dataString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:mRespData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];


    NSMutableDictionary *newDic = [dataString JSONValue];

    if ([(id)mDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(network:didFinishLoadingWithRequest:data:)]) {
        [self.mDelegate network:self didFinishLoadingWithRequest:mReqType data:newDic];
    }
    [newDic autorelease];

    [dataString release];
    [parser release];
}

This post should help.

There are some good examples here: http://iosdevelopertips.com/cocoa/json-framework-for-iphone-part-2.html

Little bit of JSON:

This is a JSON array:

["firstValue", "secondValue"]

This is a JSON dictionary:

{
"A key" : "A value",
"Another key" : "Another value"
}

Your JSON is telling the parser that the root type is an array. Therefore, jsonValue is returning an array. You are trying to call objectForKey (NSDictionary method) on that array. That's why the exception was thrown.

Please post your JSON so we can see the structure and how you should parse it. Or, try logging the object you store jsonValue to.

---

UPDATE:

After reading your JSON, this is how you should parse it:

NSString *jsonString; // set this to your json
NSArray *places = [jsonString jsonValue];
// then iterate through the places, saving off the bits you need
for (NSDictionary *place in places) {
    NSString *placeName = [place objectForKey:@"placesname"]; // for example
    NSLog(@"Name of place: %@", placeName); 
}

What you might want to do is create a custom class called place which has a property for lat, long, placename etc. and then save an array of those.

JSON syntax represents both arrays and dictionaries. When parsing an "unknown" piece of JSON code, you don't know whether a given "layer of the onion" is an array or dictionary, so you must check (at each level) to see what kind of object you have. Use [myObject isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]] and [myObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]].

It's also not unwise to do this checking even with "known" JSON sources, since web sites can break or change, and it's better to present a nice error message (and blame the web site) rather than have your app crash.
