This project is no longer maintained.

Encode / Decode JSON By Any Means Possible

AnyJSON implements the NSJSONSerialization API for platforms that don't support it --- namely iOS < 5 and Mac OS X < 10.7 --- using the first available of the following 3rd-party libraries:

• JSONKit
• yajl_json
• SBJSON
• NextiveJSON

For anyone who appreciates lower-level Objective-C hacks, you won't want to miss how AnyJSON works its magic.

Supported Methods

The following methods are supported by AnyJSON:

+ (id)JSONObjectWithData:(NSData *)data
                 options:(NSJSONReadingOptions)opt
                   error:(NSError **)error

+ (NSData *)dataWithJSONObject:(id)obj
                       options:(NSJSONWritingOptions)opt
                         error:(NSError **)error

Supported Reading Options

• NSJSONReadingMutableContainers is supported only by JSONKit
• NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves is not supported (it doesn't even work with NSJSONSerialization on iOS 5+).
• NSJSONReadingAllowFragments is not supported, though NextiveJSON always allows fragments

Supported Writing Options

• NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted is supported by JSONKit, yajl_json, and SBJSON

Unsupported Methods

The following methods are not currently supported by AnyJSON, and instead throw an AnyJSONUnimplementedException exception when called:

+ (id)JSONObjectWithStream:(NSInputStream *)stream
                   options:(NSJSONReadingOptions)opt
                     error:(NSError **)error

+ (NSInteger)writeJSONObject:(id)obj
                    toStream:(NSOutputStream *)stream
                     options:(NSJSONWritingOptions)opt
                       error:(NSError **)error

+ (BOOL)isValidJSONObject:(id)obj
