     NSData *postData = [loginJson dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];

     NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]];

     NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
     [request setURL:url];
     [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
     [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
     [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
     [request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

     NSHTTPURLResponse *response = nil;
     NSData *urlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];

     NSLog(@"Response code: %d", [response statusCode]);
     if ([response statusCode] >=200 && [response statusCode] <300)
     {
         NSString *responseData = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
         NSLog(@"Response ==> %@", responseData);

         SBJsonParser *jsonParser = [[SBJsonParser alloc]init];
         json = (NSDictionary *) [jsonParser objectWithString:responseData error:nil];
         NSLog(@"%@",json);

     } else
     {
         if (error) NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
         [self alertStatus:@"Connection Failed" :@"Login Failed!"];
     }

You should use a singleton. – Lord Zsolt Nov 28 '13 at 10:14 — Lord Zsolt, Nov 28 '13 at 10:14

you can make class as UserdataSingleton which you can use all over your application. this code template may help you:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface UserDataSingleton : NSObject
{
    @private
    NSDictionary *globalDictionary;

}

+(UserDataSingleton *) getInstance;
-(void)saveInUserDatasingletonWithDictionary:(NSDictionary *)dictionary;
-(NSDictionary *)getGlobalDictionary;

@end

and implementation file will be some thing like:

#import "UserDataSingleton.h"

@implementation UserDataSingleton

static UserDataSingleton *userDataSingletonInstance;


+(UserDataSingleton *) getInstance
{
    if (userDataSingletonInstance == nil) {
        userDataSingletonInstance = [[UserDataSingleton alloc] init];
    }
    return userDataSingletonInstance;
}

-(void)saveInUserDatasingletonWithDictionary:(NSDictionary *)dictionary
{
    globalDictionary = dictionary;
}
-(NSDictionary *)getGlobalDictionary
{
    return globalDictionary;
}
@end

================== usage:

#import "constFile.h"
#import "SBJsonParser.h"

#import "UserDataSingleton.h"
#define USERDATASINGLETON (UserDataSingleton *)[UserDataSingleton getInstance]

......................your code...

. ..

         json = (NSDictionary *) [jsonParser objectWithString:responseData error:nil];
     NSLog(@"%@",json);
[USERDATASINGLETON saveInUserDatasingletonWithDictionary:json];

Now to access json lets say you have YourViewController class.

NSMutableArray *yourArrayFromWebResponse = [USERDATASINGLETON getGlobalDictionary];

it will help you.

@user2914432 you want to acces that json dictionary in all over your application?? — maddy, Nov 28 '13 at 10:48

define a property in your appdelegate, i.e

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *jsonArray;

then assign you json to that property in appDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions

then where you want to access it:

AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
NSString *aString = [appDelegate.jsonArray objectForKey:@"any_key"];
