JSON Accelerator App Reviews

I bought both JSON Accelerator($4.99) and Cocoa JSON Editor($3.99). Although Cocoa JSON Editor is cheaper, but its much more powerful than JSON Accelerator.

I have used all of the available JSON modeling tools currently found on the App Store. The lack of documenation made me cautious about this one at first, but the simple truth is this application does a great job of providing models from JSON. I used it to create models for remote web APIs. The pros: Actually will create ARC compliant code if you desire (thank you for that). Can create Core Data compatible models as well. The cons: Doesnt give you enough control over the names of the classes, or properties, which it will create. Thankfully with a little bit of Xcode refactoring you can easily tidy things up to be just perfect with minimal effort. I would give this 5 stars if it gave me more control over the data types, and class names, or if the application had any actual preferences at all, but still this is a great tool.

Great App! Would be nice if we had an option to filter the objects/properties we want from the JSON. Please add XML support :)

I love the utility of it. Could you also do C#? Mono Touch is pretty widely used.

This is really nice, handy application. The interface is simple and uncluttered. The only complaint is that it wants to open the users contacts. There is no obvious reason for this potential information leak.

So nice to be able to code to a web service without having to visually parse the response. Just drop in a json response and your off to the races.

why does it send HEADER params as query string on GET request??

It might be good at generating classes for objective C - I didnt get that far. I had issues just getting started. For example, you are told to drag a file, paste clipboard, etc. to start. I dragged the file from my desktop and it pasted in the path to the file. There is no "File->Open" menu - so I cant open it that route either. I did get it to work the very first time and I think it truncated my test file - which had 3 objects, down to 1. Its free so Im sure its worth trying, but I was a little disappointed.

save me a lot of times thanks

Its becoming more of a JSON viewer tool for me. Works great. Hit any service or open a dumped results file and have it format the JSON is handy free tool. The code generation is decent. Request: Collapsing nodes in the results (like the firefox plugin) would be a nice plus.

This app is great for creating your object models from JSON data. Saves me a ton of time getting things "objectified" from new APIs I have to work with. Ive had this app for a while now, has worked great every time Ive needed it. Id love to ask for more features, but I honestly cant think of any. Could save a few lines of code by not synthesizing your properties and ivars now. But you might need them for older versions of Xcode. But really, no active developers should be using 4.4 or older anyway, so I say leave em behind. Great app, keep up the great work.

its really useful and looks nice.

I really liked this app, save a lot of time. I have a few suggestions for improvement: - Let the user enter the classe name before generate the class files. so intancetypeId would ne classeNameId; - I used a json with a float and int values and both were created as double. I think it should be int and float an one great feature would to be able to add properties to an existing class without rewrite it. Basically the app would check the json fields already existe in a .h and .m classe, if not, add them Anyway, great work and thank you for the tool

Haven’t used the Obj-C class generator function as it creates more code than I need in my project, but very handy for testing calls to a JSON-based web API

Great app

Could be more better if it would work for XML also...

Information put into the “Headers” section of the query actually become parameters to the query, so you can’t actually specify the HTTP Accept: header to tell the server you want JSON.

Hello, It’s very useful tool and reduces your development time significantly. I would recommend this app for all developers who works with JSON message objects for request and response.

I love this software!!!! makes my life so much easier!!!!

It requires perfectly valid JSON before it attempts to format it. I had some JSON that didn’t have qouted keys that caused it to choke hard, I had hoped it could have dealt with it.
