for core data to json:

fetch the data from your coredata according to your requirements, & then converts it into json.

for json to core data

1)convert JSON to native Cocoa data types (NSDictionary and NSArray)
2)convert NS* into Core Data object

that means you can retrieve your json data into any array or any object & then insert that object or data into core data.

get data from json like this

NSMutableArray *json = (NSMutableArray* )[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&err];
    Book.name = [[[json valueForKey:@"boxesDetail"] objectAtIndex:i] valueForKey:@"name"];
        Book.ID = [NSNumber numberWithInt:[[[[json valueForKey:@"boxesDetail"] objectAtIndex:i] valueForKey:@"number"] intValue]];

now insert this Book data into core data
