  Hi I have the following as a JSON response and I am trying to parse it out

              .
              .
              .
  

  
  
  This is only a partial listing of the actual code but it gives enough information to allow me to ask my question
  
  I am a bit new to objective C and iOS5 so I am hoping for some basic help
  So this JSON response has multiple issues elements and multiple videos elements in these issues elements .
  
  So the way I understand it I can not use NSDictionary because of the duplicate issues and videos elements
  I was wondering how if I can parse this with NSSet then enumerate them but how would I reference these elements so that all the videos associated with a given issues element.
  
  So would something like this work
  

  
  NSArray issues\":
           NSDictionary \"id\":\"fe9b922a-455d99365f79f\",
           NSDictionary \"title\":\"The Teachings of Meister Eckhart\",
           NSDictionary \"display_url\":\"MARCH2012\",
           NSDictionary \"preview_path\":\"http:play/gvxhguzBBwA\",
           NSDictionary \"published_on\":\"03/01/2012 12:00:00\",
           NSArray\"videos\":
                
                   NSDictionary \"id\":\"ae462311-de3-ff84903df150\",
                   NSDictionary \"path\":\"/flv/0312inal/MARCH_0.mp4\",
                   NSDictionary \"title\":\"Live Meditation\",
                   NSDictionary \"description\":null,
                   NSDictionary \"hd_path\":null,
                   NSDictionary \"wide_thumbnail\":null,
                   NSDictionary \"thumbnail\":null,
                   NSDictionary \"speaker\":null,
                   NSDictionary \"duration\":null},
  

  
  Assuming the above will work
  Two things confuse me
  How can I tell if the example Json result above is able to be parsed into these objects.
  Second, how do I access these elements once parsed
  
  Can some wonderful person enlighten me a bit

  Show NSLog, you will see and know do it
