How to read JSON file using NSJSONSerialization class reference?

Question

I need to read the JSON file using the NSJSONSerialization class reference, and all the examples I found about using this class read the contents of the web page itself, instead of reading from the previously created JSON file. Does anyone know how to deal with a JSON file using this class? Thanks.

A simple, quick'n'dirty example:

NSString *jsonPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"foobar" ofType:@"json"]; NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:jsonPath]; NSError *error = nil; id json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error]; NSLog(@"JSON: %@", json);
