Here is the code I used in viewdidLoad

 NSDictionary *pJson;
    NSMutableString *postStr = [NSMutableString stringWithString:kURL];
  [postStr appendString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"?tag=%@&id=%@",kCategoryFilter,kPrecious]];

    [postStr setString:[postStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc]initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:postStr]];
    NSLog(@"%@",postStr);
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    _connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:postStr];
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
    pJson = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:nil];
    NSLog(@"%@",pJson);
    NSMutableArray *arr = [pJson objectForKey:@"Response"];
    NSLog(@"%lu",(unsigned long)arr.count);
    NSMutableDictionary *dict2 =[[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];// [arr objectAtIndex:NSIndexPath.row];
   [dict2 setObject:arr forKey:@"dictionary1"];
   dict2 = [arr objectAtIndex:0];
   NSArray *arr1 =[dict2 objectForKey:@"0"];
    NSLog(@"%lu",(unsigned long)arr1.count);
    NSUInteger y;
    for (int i=0;i<arr.count;i++) {
              NSString *ring_data = [[arr objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:@"menuname"];
        NSString *id_data = [[arr objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:@"menuid"];
        NSLog(@"AUTHOR: %@",ring_data);
        NSLog(@"%@",id_data);
        dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                      ring_data,@"menuname",id_data,@"menuId",nil];
        [myObject addObject:dictionary];
        NSMutableArray *arr1 = [dict2 objectForKey:@"0"];
        NSLog(@"%lu",(unsigned long)arr1.count);
        y = arr.count;
        for (NSUInteger i=0;i<arr1.count;i++) {
            NSArray *count = [[[arr1 objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:arr]valueForKey:@"catname"];
            NSString *myCount = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu",(unsigned long)[count count]];
            NSString *ring_data = [[arr1 objectAtIndex:i]objectForKey:@"catname"];
            NSLog(@"AUTHOR: %@",ring_data);
            //  NSLog(@"%@",catname_data);
            dictionary1 = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                          ring_data,@"catname",
                          nil];
            [myObject1 addObject:dictionary1];

        }

I tried some coding for you.Follow that code and customize where you want to add to array and where to set dictionary.

NSDictionary *jsonArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options: NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error: &err];

NSArray *array=[jsonArray objectForKey:@"Response"];

for (int i=0;i<[array count];i++)
{
    NSMutableDictionary *dict = [array objectAtIndex:i];
    NSMutableArray *arrayDictValue = [dict valueForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",0]];
    NSString *strMenuName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[arrayDictValue valueForKey:@"menuname"]];
    NSString *strMenuID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[arrayDictValue valueForKey:@"menuid"]];
    NSLog(@"The strMenuName is-%@",strMenuName);
    NSLog(@"The strMenuID is-%@",strMenuID);
    for (int j=0; j<[arrayDictValue count]; i++)
    {
        NSMutableDictionary *dictInside = [arrayDictValue objectAtIndex:j];
        NSArray *arrayInsideDict = [dictInside valueForKey:@"0"];
        for (int k =0; k<[arrayInsideDict count]; i++)
        {

            NSString *strCatName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[arrayInsideDict objectAtIndex:k ]valueForKey:@"catname"]];
            NSString *strCatID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[arrayInsideDict objectAtIndex:k ]valueForKey:@"catid"]];
            NSLog(@"The strCateName is-%@",strCatName);
            NSLog(@"The strCatID is-%@",strCatID);
            NSMutableDictionary *dictInArray = [[arrayInsideDict objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey:@"0"];
            NSString *strSCatName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dictInArray valueForKey:@"scatname"]];
            NSString *strSCatID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[dictInArray valueForKey:@"scatid"]];
            NSLog(@"the strSCatName is - %@",strSCatName);
            NSLog(@"the strSCatID is - %@",strSCatID);

        }


    }

loop is infinite and strCatName is (null) – Pavithra Selvaraj Jun 04 '15 at 13:10
Have you checked very well? – user3182143 Jun 04 '15 at 13:12
First print the arrayDictValue after that dictInside,arrayInsideDict.Check clearly.If it does not have any object,tell me quickly. – user3182143 Jun 04 '15 at 13:13
Yeah they have objects. – Pavithra Selvaraj Jun 05 '15 at 04:44
Then where do not you have objects? – user3182143 Jun 05 '15 at 05:58
For strMenuName,strCatName,strSCatName were showing (null) – Pavithra Selvaraj Jun 05 '15 at 06:03
No not yet solved if I use this code I get log with infinite loop like this :2015-06-05 10:28:34.358 TAskOnExpandableTableView[801:15595] The strCateName is-(null) 2015-06-05 10:28:34.358 TAskOnExpandableTableView[801:15595] The strCateName is-(null) 2015-06-05 10:28:34.358 TAskOnExpandableTableView[801:15595] The strCateName is-(null) 2015-06-05 10:28:34.358 TAskOnExpandableTableView[801:15595] The strCateName is-(null) 2015-06-05 10:28:34.358 TAskOnExpandableTableView[801:15595] The strCateName is-(null) 2015-06-05 10:28:34.358 TAskOnExpandableTableView[801:15595] The strCateName is-(null) – Pavithra Selvaraj Jun 05 '15 at 06:10
You are getting response is not uniformly.If you have response,it must be same form.For example scatname,scatid is missing in 2nd and 3rd dictionary of array. – user3182143 Jun 05 '15 at 07:15
Go Google and enter online json viewer.Click that first link.Copy and paste the response in Text.Then click left side of the Viewer.It shows exact Json response and check it.Ask webservice team to form correct format. – user3182143 Jun 05 '15 at 07:35
Yeah thank you so much there is some corrections in code in for loop increment. – Pavithra Selvaraj Jun 05 '15 at 09:00
May you give the mark for me,If this code useful for you? – user3182143 Jun 05 '15 at 09:12
Thank so much.If you need any help,please ask me.I help you. – user3182143 Jun 05 '15 at 09:56
