How to take a json string like this below to transform to dictionary?

Question

I got a json like this:

`{
   "_j_msgid" = 2404589949;
    aps =     {
        alert = "E\U519c\U901a";
        badge = 26;
        sound = "happy.caf";
   };
   data = "{title=\U901a\U77e5\U516c\U544a, pushId=15, pushType=NOTICECOL}";  // this line is my want.
}`

But, I use my method to take the json string to dictionary:

+ (NSDictionary *)dictionaryWithJsonString:(NSString *)jsonString {
    if (jsonString == nil) {
        return nil;
    }

NSData *jsonData = [jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSError *err;
NSDictionary *dic = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData
                                                    options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers
                                                      error:&err];
if(err) {
    NSLog(@"json fail：%@",err);
    return nil;
}
return dic;
}

I failed, get a nil dictionary.

So, I convert the data's = to :,then use + (NSDictionary *)dictionaryWithJsonString:(NSString *)jsonString to transform the converted json string to dictionary, and I failed again.

Is there some useful method to transform this type json string to dictionary?

I tried the solution and I got it.

Your json is above.That is the json response.Whatever when you convert JSON to string it should be

NSString *strJson = @"{\"_j_msgid\":\"2404589949\",\"aps\" : {\"alert\" :\"EU519cU901a\",\"badge\":\"26\",\"sound\":\"happy.caf\"},\"data\":{\"title\" :\"U901aU77e5U516cU544a\",\"pushId\":\"15\",\"pushType\":\"NOTICECOL\"}}";

When you convert into string you should add

\"key\":\"value\"

If it is dictionary

{\"key\":\"value\"}

If dictioanry is inside the array

[\"response\":{\"key\":\"value\"}]

Then the coding

NSError *jsonError;
NSString *strJson = @"{\"_j_msgid\":\"2404589949\",\"aps\" : {\"alert\" :\"EU519cU901a\",\"badge\":\"26\",\"sound\":\"happy.caf\"},\"data\":{\"title\" :\"U901aU77e5U516cU544a\",\"pushId\":\"15\",\"pushType\":\"NOTICECOL\"}}";
NSData *objectData = [strJson dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:objectData
                                                     options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers
                                                       error:&jsonError];

NSLog(@"json is - %@",json);

The printed results are

json is - {
 "_j_msgid" = 2404589949;
 aps =     {
    alert = EU519cU901a;
    badge = 26;
    sound = "happy.caf";
 };
 data =     {
    pushId = 15;
    pushType = NOTICECOL;
    title = U901aU77e5U516cU544a;
 };
}
