2,338 PointsHow to get and use JSON data from own website?
Hello fellow coders!
I am pretty new to iOS coding - I only have experience coding HTML, CSS and PHP. Anyway, I do want to know how to make iOS apps, so I have done the tutorial on this site.
Now I want to make and app that gets data from my own website using JSON. I already made the JSON page and it is working as it should. Where stuff went wrong, was when I wanted to get the data from the JSON site, and show it in the app. I do not know how to make the connection.
I currently have a JSON file that makes the query: SELECT * from people WHERE name = "". The thing is, that I want to show the age and the gender of the person, so the app should connect to my JSON page and post a name to the JSON page, and then retrieve the name, age and gender for, for example, a guy named jeremy.
Can anyone help me with that? Maybe even make some code I can work with? That would really be appreciated!
Have a nice day guys :-)

I recommend taking a look at the Weather app course It covers Pulling Data From the Web which will give you a better understanding of what you need to do and how to do it.
If you don't want to do that check out the following blogPost
