Thanks Steve, that's promising, most likely something wrong in my NSURLConnection code then, or the way I call it.
I don't think there's anything trailing in the JSON content, there really isn'tt much in there his is the api server code:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8");
$link = mysql_connect('localhost','[USERNAME','[PASSWORD') or die (mysql_error($link));
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_select_db('[DB NAME') or die('Can't select database');
$query = "SELECT * FROM `[TABLE NAME]` ORDER BY `date` DESC LIMIT 0, 100";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('ERROR EXECUTING QUERY '.mysql_error($link));
$TaxNotes = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$UserName = $row['username'];
$DossierName = $row['dossierName'];
$Text = $row['text'];
$date = new DateTime($row['date']);
$Date = $date->format('d.m.Y');
$Hyperlink = $row['hyperlink'];
$Title = $row['title'];
$PictureURL = $row['pictureUrl'];
$Note = array(
"username" => $UserName,
"dossiername" => $DossierName,
"text" => $Text,
"date" => $Date,
"link" => $Hyperlink,
"title" => $Title,
"pictureUrl" => $PictureURL
);
array_push($TaxNotes, $Note);
}
$object = new stdClass();
$object->items = $TaxNotes;
echo json_encode($object);
?>

Is it possible that you’re doing something like appending a null terminator or something else non-printable so that when you look at the data then it all seems OK?
