How do I get HTTP response as JSON?

To return JSON from the server, you must include the JSON data in the body of the HTTP response message and provide a "Content-Type: application/json" response header. The Content-Type response header allows the client to interpret the data in the response body correctly.

What is request and response in JSON?

json() returns a JSON object of the result (if the result was written in JSON format, if not it raises an error). Python requests are generally used to fetch the content from a particular resource URI. Whenever we make a request to a specified URI through Python, it returns a response object.

This is the code which work for JSON post request, TouchJSON Framework is used for parsing the JSON, thanks 'schwa'.

NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"username", @"password", @"preference", @"uid", nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"accuser", @"accpass", @"abc_region", @"100", nil];
NSDictionary *theRequestDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];

NSURL *theURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://url.com/request.php"];
NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:theURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:10.0f];
[theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

[theRequest setValue:@"application/json-rpc" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
NSString *theBodyString = [[CJSONSerializer serializer] serializeDictionary:theRequestDictionary];
NSLog(@"%@", theBodyString);
NSData *theBodyData = [theBodyString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// NSLog(@"%@", theBodyData);
[theRequest setHTTPBody:theBodyData];

NSURLResponse *theResponse = NULL;
NSError *theError = NULL;
NSData *theResponseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest returningResponse:&theResponse error:&theError];
NSString *theResponseString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:theResponseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
NSLog(theResponseString);
NSDictionary *theResponseDictionary = [[CJSONDeserializer deserializer] deserialize:theResponseString];
NSLog(@"%@", theResponseDictionary);
NSString *theGreeting = [theResponseDictionary objectForKey:@"greeting"];
[self setValue:theGreeting forKey:@"greeting"];
