JSONKit Tutorial For Beginners Demonstrating Use With The Rotten Tomatoes API

JSONKit has become one of the most popular JSON parsing frameworks in iOS development due to it’s ease of use on iOS devices. Recently I have seen quite a few searches on this site for a JSONKit tutorial, and although tutorials have been featured using JSONKit. This is the first providing a guide for beginners specifically on JSONKit.

While the JSONKit developers provide good documentation, it’s always good to learn from example and I found an easy quick tutorial demonstrating how to communicate with the Rotten Tomatoes API, and download and display the returned JSON data in a readable format.

Here’s a video demonstrating the project from the tutorial in action:

You can find the tutorial by 14 Oranges on their website along with a downloadable sample project here:

If you want to run the example you will need to get a key for the Rotten Tomatoes API.

You can find the Github for JSONKit JSON parser library here:

It’s always good to learn by example and this should get you started with using JSONKit.
