In iOS, how do I parse a JSON string into an object

Question

I come from Android dev, so sorry if I\'m missing obvious iOS concepts here.

I have a JSON feed that looks like:

{\"directory\":[{\"id\":0,\"fName\":\"...\

For this, you can SBJSON framework.

You have to convert the response string into an NSDictionary like

 NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSDictionary *dic = [responseString JSONValue];

Now you can create an object for Staff class.

Staff *staff = [[Staff alloc]init];

Then you can store values in this object like

staff.firstname = [[[dic objectForKey:@"directory"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"fName"];

Now you can pass this single object to other classes
