i am trying to make a dictionary app using JSON. App is ready to use but i am facing a problem.
when i search any keyword like - subject then the json code returns [noun, verb, adverb, adjective] and when i search a keyword like - clothes then the json code returns only [plural noun]. so my question is how to check if the tags i want returned from json is available or not.
right now when i parse json text and if i get all 4 tags [noun, verb, adverb, adjective] from json response then app works ok. but if any of the tag is missing then it returns a alert like - no values for {missing tag name}
