@Dave
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
…probably should have given a shout out to my IndyHall peeps in the first place.

Check out JSONKit – a freebie to come out of IndyHall Labs. We use it in all of the software we produce – and then some

I have used json-framework before but switched over to TouchJSON because I thought it was easier to use, funnily enough. At least, its a lot easier to get it into your project quickly as you just need to copy the source over (three classes).

Like you, I don’t know which one is the best, at least from a purely technical/performance point of view.

@Luke
Yeah TouchJSON is another similar library. There are several discussions strewn about the intertubes asking which one is better. I believe the usual comparison is that TouchJSON is more mature/stable and json-framework is simpler to use. But to be honest, I haven’t used TouchJSON, so I don’t know for sure.

I don’t know how they really compare, but another good JSON library for the iPhone is TouchJSON: http://code.google.com/p/touchcode/wiki/TouchJSONHowTo
