How do I parse JSON with Objective-C?

Let me first say that I am still new to Objective-C but I am looking for way to store JSON data from a restful API to a variable. I have already established a connection to the API I am just unfamiliar with the commands to search to find specific information. Any help or references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One of the easiest way to retrieve JSON data from a restful API is using the AFNetworking library.

Here’s a sample code

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://yourAPIUrl/whatever"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
    // do whatever you like with your JSON object
    NSLog(JSON);
} failure:nil];

[operation start];
