How do I get NSJSONSerialization to output a boolean as true or false?
boolean, ios, json
Solution
No, the Foundation Object for a Bool is `NSNumber` `numberWithBool`, which becomes either 0 or 1. We have no `Bool` Object. Same go for reading `JSON`. True/false will become a `NSNumber` again.
You could create an `Bool` Class and build your own parser. Arrays are Arrays and `JSON` Objects are `NSDictionary`. You can query the keys, test what Class lies behind and build the `JSON` String from this.
Problem
I'm using NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject to serialize my classes to JSON. When it serializes a BOOL, it gives it the value 1 or 0 in the JSON string. I need this to be true or false instead. Is this possible to do generically?
