I can't figure it out how to read this data.
Looking for your's valuable suggetion. I am using this url(http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=kolkata)
Thanks in advance

I suspect that this is because you are using NSData. Try converting that to NSString or just use an NSString returning method like stringWithContentsOfURL:encoding:error:
