You don't need to use AFNetworking for local JSON. You won't have any network related advantage in local files.
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:jsonFileName ofType:@"json"];
NSData *JSONData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath options:NSDataReadingMappedIfSafe error:nil];
NSDictionary *jsonObject = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:JSONData options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
Now use jsonDictionary as per your need.

Why not just parse it using the built in NSJSONSerialization classes? That's all AFNetworking is doing behind the scenes. Save yourself some trouble.

Thanks.Let me try that out!
NSData *theData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:templateFileName ofType:@"json"]];
NSDictionary *parsedData = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:theData options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
Hope this will help you.

To load the local JSON file in iOS we need to go to build phases, by selecting the target, load the file using copy bundle resources. Then build the file. Simply adding it by following 'file-> new file -> other -> empty' procedure wont work.(I was struggling for 4 hours for getting the expected result.)
