    text
    copied!<p>I am JSON newbie and can't find any material on how to simulate JSON payload request.</p> <p>My ultimate goal is to be able to build an objective-c iOS app that will handle these request-response. I am aware of ASIHttprequest framework and the request-response mechanism it works around. </p> <p>However right now I have a webservice api which expects various json payloads and also provides response in json format. Here is an example:</p> <p>Example URL: </p> <p><code>https://mywebServiceURL/api/ApiKey/user/create</code></p> <pre><code>The ContentType header = “application/json”. </code></pre> <p>Payload: The PUT payload is a JSON dictionary, containing the following keyvalue pairs:</p> <pre><code>email screenName User’s screen name. password passwordConfirm phoneNumber (optional) User’s phone number (optional) picture A png file (64x64), encoded as a Base64 string (optional) </code></pre> <p>Now my questions:</p> <p>1 - how do I simulate this normally (outside ios, just for the sake of testing)? I searched google but can't find exactly what I need, I got curl.exe but it gives me same as what a browser gives, like method not allowed etc. But that's not the only thing I want. I want to play with various requests, supply values and take the api for a ride for sometime before I know how it really works for PUT, GET, POST etc.</p> <p>2 - what is the best way to incorporate such stuff into iOS? I already have ASIHttp for web requests and JSONKit for JSON handling included in my project. </p> <p>I have done this kind of stuff but with xml responses, get requests. JSON I am working for the first time. Just a pointer to an example stuff like this would be a great help.</p>
