Parsing JSON Data in iOS application Return Null Array

Question

I am parsing JSON data from URL. The URL has data but array returns null in code here is the code which i am using for parsing.

      tempArray =[[DataController staticVersion] startParsing:[NSString     stringWithFormat:@"http://ec2-54-84-162-129.compute-1.amazonaws.com/hotelcms/getActivityHotel.php?ActivityDate=Sunday March 15th&ActivityNameID=1"]];

 NSLog(@"Temp Array is %@",tempArray);

Here is the DataController Class

    @interface DataController : NSObject {

     }
    + (id)staticVersion;
    - (NSMutableArray *) startParsing:(NSString *)theURLString;
    @end

   @implementation DataController

   DataController *theInstance;
  + (id)staticVersion                                                                         


  {

    if(!theInstance){
    theInstance = [[DataController alloc] init];
    }
  return theInstance;
  }


 - (NSMutableArray *) startParsing:(NSString *)theURLString {

   NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",theURLString]];
  NSString *fileContent= [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url];
  SBJSON *parser = [[SBJSON alloc] init];  
  NSDictionary *data = (NSDictionary *) [parser objectWithString:fileContent error:nil];  
NSArray *items = (NSArray *) data ;  
return items;
}
 @end

Why are you calling [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", theString]]? That's utterly, utterly pointless. — gnasher729

The data you are parsing is not in proper JSON Format. For it you need to use xml parsing — Ashok Londhe

The response from that URL is not a valid JSON object. See if you can remove the erroneous "Sunday March 15th" from the start of the response.

It's amazing how helpless people are with the slightest problem. He should have figured that out himself within 10 seconds.
