Isn't it a Dictionary in an Array in a Dictionary? I might be wrong — Novarg

Leaving an answer to summarize it all.

As I mentioned in a comment, it is a dictionary in an array in a dictionary.

Dictionaries:

{
   "API": "Test1",
   "data": "{\"uid\":\"16\",\"cid\":\"22\",\"watch\":\"12\"}",
   "timestamp": "12-01-2012 16:05:45"
},
{
   "API": "Test2",
   "data": "{\"uid\":\"16\",\"cid\":\"22\"}",
   "timestamp": "12-01-2012 16:05:45"
},
{
   "API": "Test3",
   "data": "{\"uid\":\"16\",\"cid\":\"22\",\"type\":\"n\"}",
   "timestamp": "12-01-2012 16:05:45"
}

Can be created like that:

NSDictionary *dict3 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Test3", @"API"
                      @"{\"uid\":\"16\",\"cid\":\"22\",\"type\":\"n\"}", @"data"
                      @"12-01-2012 16:05:45", @"timestamp"
                      , nil];

These dictionaries are stored in an array.

NSArray *theArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: dict1, dict2, dict3, nil];

or you can make a NSMutableArray and add dictionaries there right after creating them.

And that array is in a dictionary:

NSDictionary *theBigDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:theArray forKey:@"deferred"];

Hope it helps :)

SBJSON is useful for the same. For better guidance Tutorial: JSON Over HTTP On The iPhone

SBJSON will work like...

SBJSON *json = [[SBJSON new] autorelease];  
NSMutableArray *ArrayResponse = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[json objectWithString:responseString error:nil]];
