Objective-c – Need to convert NSData to NSArray

iphonensarraynsdatansurlconnectionobjective c

I am pulling down a plist from a URL using an NSURLConnection, which returns an
NSData object. I would like to convert this to an NSArray. Can anyone help me?

I am refactoring a method that currently does a synchronous request to the URL,
using arrayWithContentsOfURL: to get the NSArray.

Thanks!!

Use +[NSPropertyListSerialization dataWithPropertyList:format:options:error:] to convert the data, then check if the result -isKindOfClass:[NSArray class].

There is a much easier solution, if you take advantage of the built-in reverseObjectEnumerator method on NSArray, and the allObjects method of NSEnumerator:

NSArray* reversedArray = [[startArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];

allObjects is documented as returning an array with the objects that have not yet been traversed with nextObject, in order:

This array contains all the remaining objects of the enumerator in enumerated order.
