Try :

-(NSString *)removeWebserviceJunk:(NSString *)ws {
    NSString *withoutXMLPrologue = [ws stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\r\n" withString:@"" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [ws length])];
    return [withoutXMLPrologue stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@".*<string .*>(.*)<\\/string>" withString:@"$1" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch | NSRegularExpressionSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [withoutXMLPrologue length])];
}

And use SBJson (or other JSON library) to convert the resulting string to JSON.
