Closed Captioning available in English
Overview
Download JSON data from an online location into your iOS apps. You’ll work a sample list of contacts with email addresses, phone numbers, names, and other relevant information. You'll then see how to format the data properly and list it in a TableView to be more user-friendly to read for display in your app.

By the end of this video, you’ll be able to incorporate JSON data into your apps in a user-friendly and easily accessible manner.
