This is a newbie question and may not have an answer. I want to visit a website on an iPhone/iPad and also gather and search all the information about the website. For example, If I search for a book and a page pops up I want to be able to read in the genres it falls under (Fiction, Fantasy, romance, Adventure, etc...) Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated!

If you are developing the website, you can include a webservice which provides this data. But to my knowledge there's no way to just retrieve all this data in any sort of concise format from just any random website without a webservice. – nhgrif Nov 24 '13 at 02:37

so you want to implement a website crawler? Sorry there is no magic wand, you have to code it yourself. – user3020494 Nov 24 '13 at 02:37

1I think you may have the wrong idea about what JSON is. JSON is a format for sending data between server and client. – Aaron Nov 24 '13 at 02:38

You can fetch website content(usually in HTML format) using ASIHTTPRequest or AFNetworking, then parse the HTML data, get the links of sub-pages. You may want to check How to Parse HTML on iOS.
