Question

I am using Linkedin Api in my Iphone App.I want to read the Connection Names and their Profession.In First Step I read the user name and Professional by using the Following Api.
http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~
It return the following String and I convert that string in to NSDictionary .Its Work Fine.
====================================
coming string is equql to {
"headline": "Computer Software Professional",
"lastName": "Ahmed",
"siteStandardProfileRequest": {"url": "http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=86794265&authToken=ZBFd&authType=name&trk=api*a135617*s143990*"},
"firstName": "Umair"
}
========================================
Nsstring to NSDictionary conversion:-
Data coming from LinkedIn site
NSString *responseBody = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"coming string is equql to %#",responseBody);
NSDictionary *profile = [responseBody objectFromJSONString];
[responseBody release];
if ( profile )
{
name.text = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%# %#",
[profile objectForKey:#"firstName"], [profile objectForKey:#"lastName"]];
headline.text = [profile objectForKey:#"headline"];
}
The Above code Work Fine.
