Restkit cannot read valid json?

am just starting off with restkit for ios. I have a very simple json response

{ "result": [ { "userid": "5964", "name": "Your Name" } ] }

This is a valid json (tested against jsonlint)

However, when i try to use this with RKClient, it doe'snt see it as json. This is my code

-(void) request:(RKRequest *)request didLoadResponse:(RKResponse *)response{

    if([request isGET]){
        if([response isJSON]){
            NSLog(@"JSON Response from Server %@", [response bodyAsString] );    
        }else{
            NSLog(@"Non JSON Response from Server %@", [response bodyAsString] );    
        }
    }

}

It always logs "Non JSON Reponse...." but the json is perfectly valid. The same thing happens when i use RKObjectMapping; the error will be "Unable to find parser for MIME Type text/xml.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

If for any reason you can't change the server headers and returned Mime type to xml or json, you can still add mapping for mime type 'text/html' to be processed as json.

Just add :

[[RKParserRegistry sharedRegistry] setParserClass:[RKJSONParserJSONKit class] forMIMEType:@"text/html"];

And don't forget to add the related header file :

#import <RestKit/RKJSONParserJSONKit.h>

Works for me.

Have a look at https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit/wiki/Using-a-Custom-MIME-Type

Serveur response header should be "application/json", and not "text/xml". ;p

I was a bit dumb, but things got solved once i added

header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');
header('Content-type: application/json');

to the server script.
