    What did you try doing? Is it just JSON like? Will it always be valid JSON? – Wain Feb 04 '14 at 15:47
  • what you showd is already a dictionary – santhu Feb 04 '14 at 15:48
  • I tried converting directly to NSDictionary like : NSMutableDictionary *myResult = (NSMutableDictionary *)strMyDict and then i tried accessing : [myResult valueForKey:@"type"] which gave me following exception : Exception in messageReceived : NSUnknownKeyException : [<__NSCFString 0xa67f910> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key type. – Tejas Feb 04 '14 at 15:51

If your JSON is a string, get an NSData object first:

NSData *jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

Then turn it into an NSDictionary using the NSJSONSerialization class:

NSError* error = nil;
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&error];
