Can't parse JSON sent by SA_OAuthTwitterEngine/MGTwitterEngine - iphone

Question

I'm developing an Twitter app, but in the view where's supposed to be the logged user info, I'm not able to parse the JSON gave by [_engine getUserInformationFor:username];. I'm using SBJSON and tells me this when tries to parse it:
2011-05-07 12:29:45.553 BirdieApp[7122:40b] -JSONValue failed. Error is: Unrecognised leading character at offset 0
This is the code I'm using:
NSLog(#"loggedapi");
NSString *username = [_engine username];
NSString *userinfo = [_engine getUserInformationFor:username];
NSLog(#"user: %#%#", username, userinfo);
NSArray *results = [userinfo JSONValue];
NSDictionary *first = [results objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"screen name = %#", [first objectForKey:#"description"]);
The output that [_engine getUserInformationFor:username]; gaves me is:
2011-05-07 12:29:46.281 BirdieApp[7122:40b] User Info Received: (

};
"statuses_count" = 16;
"time_zone" = Madrid;

}
I think it's JSON, but not sure. I also tried with the url twitter gives but didn't got to work too. The URL is http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=zad0xsis , where "zad0xsis" is the twitter username.
Thanks in advance!! ;)

Answer 1

Hii.
Here is a good link OAuth Twitter
This example uses model to get json result in NSDictionary .They called getUsertimeLine method . You can call your own method.

Answer 2

My experience with Cocoa & JSON is
It just won't work right...
or It's not worth all of the trouble to parse it!
You might be better off using the Twitter XML API
https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.xml?screen_name=zad0xsis
Then using NSXMLParser to parse it (on iPhone): http://ll.io/e17
or
NSXMLDocument (Mac): http://ll.io/ff0
Hope this helps!
