iOS - Hosting JSON file to parse it using URL [closed]

Question

I have a .json file with valid data. I want to host it online and use the live url in my app. I tried putting the json file in drop box and tried to verify the json data on http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com site but it shows "JSON data URL does not contain JSON data" Is there any other way can I achieve this? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can still use Dropbox if you don't want to pay for a hosting provider or if you just want to test your app before paying for one.

To do this, you need to replace the www.dropbox.com part of the URL with dl.dropboxusercontent.com as is said in this Dropbox article.

I'm mainly leaving this answer for the future, as this can be useful for other people (me included).

This is exactly the problem I wanted to solve with http://www.myjson.com An easy and simple solution to hosting JSON.
