Answer 1

First of all there is no such thing as best way. If there was a best way, you will probably heard it or find it among top google hits.

You can make do-it-yourself with NSJSONSerialization. This what Apple provides, and it is merely the fastest and the hardest to use. It's not even that 'hard', it just get's complicated when JSON has manny sub-levels.

What I can recommend you is SwiftyJSON. It had minor(barely noticable in most apps) overhead but it's much more easier to use in Swift. A great example is found on raywenderlich site.
