Hi all,
I have Googled this issue for hours and tried various solutions suggested at Stackoverflow, but can't seem to solve the following problem.
I am pulling JSON from here: http://www.tenhorses.com/apps/meijburg/dotTAXDataHandler/dotTAXtaxNotesAPI.php
Both JSONLint, http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com and freeformatter.com say this is valid JSON.
I am using the NSURLConnection delegate methods (appending data as it comes in to a NSMutableData object) and are serialising the downloaded data in the didFinishLoading like so:
NSError *error;
id jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:self.container options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(@"ERROR: %@", error);
}
else {
if ([self.type isEqual:@"people"] || [self.type isEqual:@"projects"] || [self.type isEqual:@"taxNotes"]) jsonObject = [jsonObject objectForKey:@"items"];
NSString *notificationName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@DataDownloaded", self.type];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:notificationName object:nil userInfo:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:jsonObject forKey:@"jsonArray"]];
[sharedConnectionList removeObject:self];
}
In short this sends off a notification with a pointer to an NSArray in case the downloader object's type is 'people', projects' or 'taxNotes' and to a NSDictionary in other cases.
Now here is the problem: although the JSON parses fine and populates a UITableView without any issues, I am still getting the following error:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 3840.)" (Garbage at end.) UserInfo=0xa2329a0 {NSDebugDescription=Garbage at end.}
I tested by creating an NSString from the data object and adding a few characters at the end. Never does that reveal anything that should be there at the end of the JSON string.
This, in itself, is slightly unsettling, but not critically wrong..
Has anybody here experienced a similar issue?
If so, can you tell me how to fix this?
Many thanks,
Diederik
