Simple, quick'n'dirty example:

NSString *jsonPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"foobar"
                                                     ofType:@"json"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:jsonPath];
NSError *error = nil;
id json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data
                                          options:kNilOptions
                                            error:&error];
NSLog(@"JSON: %@", json);
