Declared in RKParser.h

Overview

The RKParser protocol declares two methods that a class must implement so that it can provide support for parsing and serializing object representations to the RestKit framework. Parsers are required to transform data to and from string representations and are configured via the RKParserRegistry shared instance.

Tasks

  • – objectFromString:error:

    Returns an object representation of the source string encoded in the format provided by the parser (i.e. JSON, XML, etc).

         required method
  • – stringFromObject:error:

    Returns a string representation encoded in the format provided by the parser (i.e. JSON, XML, etc) for the given object.

         required method

Instance Methods

objectFromString:error:
