How do you store "bool" values in an NSMutableArray* or NSMutableDictionary*? Chronic problems with JSON data that come in as Boolean values.

Answer 1

You can store it as a number:

[mutableArray addObject[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]];

EDIT And with the new syntax:

 //BOOL
[mutableArray addObject:@YES];
 //integer
 [mutableArray addObject:@23]; 

Answer 2

You should simply wrap the bool in an NSNumber as follows:

NSNumber *wrappedBool = [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES];

For future reference, NSNumber has quite a few numberWith... methods for wrapping booleans, ints, floats, etc.

Answer 3

You can also use JSON-Framework which abstracts away all those difficulties.
