SBJson’s number one feature is chunk-based operation. Feed the parser one or more chunks of UTF8-encoded data and it will call a block you provide with each root-level document or array. Or, optionally, for each top-level entry in each root-level array. See more in the Version 4 API docs.
Other features:
- Configurable recursion limit. For safety SBJson defaults to a max nesting level of 32 for all input. This can be configured if necessary.
- The writer can optionally sort dictionary keys so output is consistent across writes.
- The writer can optionally create human-readable (indented) output.

Please see the API Documentation for more details.
Installation
The preferred way to use SBJson is by using CocoaPods. In your Podfile use:
pod 'SBJson', '~> 4.0.0'
If you depend on a third-party library that requires an earlier version of SBJson—or want to install both version 3 and 4 in the same app to do a gradual transition—you can instead use:
pod 'SBJson4', '~> 4.0.0'
An alternative that I no longer recommend is to copy all the source files (the contents of the src/main/objc
folder) into your own Xcode project.
Support
- Check StackOverflow questions tagged with SBJson if you have questions about how to use the library. I eventually read all questions with this tag.
- Use the issue tracker if you have found a bug.
