Example data:
NSString *strData = #"{\"1\": {\"name\": \"Jerry\",\"age\": \"12\"}, \"2\": {\"name\": \"Bob\",\"age\": \"16\"}}";
NSData *webData = [strData dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSError *error;
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:webData options:0 error:&error];
NSLog(#"JSON DIct: %#", jsonDict);
NSLog output:
JSON DIct: {
1 = {
age = 12;
name = Jerry;
};
2 = {
age = 16;
name = Bob;
};
}

//*************Static Resopnse
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"demo" ofType:#"text"];
NSLog (#"Content: %#", filePath);
NSString *content = [[[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath
usedEncoding:nil
error:nil] autorelease];
SBJSON *json = [[SBJSON new] autorelease];
NSString *str=[[NSString alloc]initWithString:content];
dictTemp = [json objectWithString:str error:nil];
NSLog(#"Actions is: %#",dictTemp);
NSArray *arr=[[dictTemp valueForKey:#"Data"] mutableCopy];
arrX=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
arrY=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for(NSDictionary *dict in arr)
{
[arrX addObject:[dict valueForKey:#"Milestone"]];
[arrY addObject:[dict valueForKey:#"Sites"]];
}
NSLog(#"X is: %#",[arrX description]);
NSLog(#"Y is: %#",[arrY description]);

NSString *loginStatus = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes: [webData mutableBytes] length:[webData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
NSLog([[loginStatus JSONValue] description],nil);
//This will give you parsed output.

NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSlog(#"json String is: %#",responseString);
NSDictionary *dictionary = [responseString JSONValue];
NSLog(#"Dictionary value is %#", [dictionary objectForKey:#"json"]);
the result of this code is:json String is: {"json":{"Success":"Activation code."}}
After Conversation the result is ------- Dictionary value is {
Success = "Activation code."};
