Looks like JSON. You should probably integrate a JSON library into your app.

Apple gives you a JSON serializer in Foundation. Look for NSJSONSerialization. Apple also gives you sample code for HTTP POSTs. Look for SimpleURLConnections.

True, but only available in iOS 5.0 and later.

JSONkit could help you for other iOSes then 5.x

There are a few third-party libraries at one's disposal, including TouchJSON and json-framework as well. But, you'll want to pick one that is supported across all the versions of iOS you are planning your app to run on rather having to integrate multiple libraries. Which is what you meant, right jnoxx?

Correct, but i was too lazy to type it all out like a boss (you).
The thing is, I allways tried to cross develop for iOS 3.X 4.X and now 5.X
But since 5.X i'm skipping 3.X because it's just a a bunch of (insert random word) to support it all.
Ah well, i'd say, have fun with parsers *cough*

Same here: only 4.0 or higher. But at what point can we reasonably abandon 4.x as well?

I guess iOS5 my dear Dejo.
Since most people I know, don't wonna upgrade to iOS5, i'm speechless. but well..
Most people with 3GS don't wonna upgrade, because they think it'll be too slow.
So 4.x and 5.x it is..

I guess iOS5 my dear Dejo.

I don't understand this answer.

 

[jnoxx]

I don't understand this answer.

I meant iOS6, Auwch, makes me look like a turd.
But, You allways stop supporting when there is only 1x new iOS version.
