I am implementing a client based application. In that I have an xml string. I need to convert it to JSON format and send to the server. I have no idea on converting this. Can you guys please suggest me any documentation or idea to this?

As Steve said the two steps are those, I leave you a bit of code, maybe can help you a bit more:
// Don't forget the imports ;)
#import "XMLReader.h"
// You must have a XML string from somewhere
NSString XMLString = yourXML;
// I remove all returns and tabs from the text, after i would be annoying if you don't remove it
XMLString = [XMLString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\r" withString:@""];
XMLString = [XMLString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\t" withString:@""];
// Parse the XML into a dictionary
NSError *parseError = nil;
NSDictionary *xmlDictionary = [XMLReader dictionaryForXMLString:XMLString error:&parseError];
NSError *error;
self.dataParsed = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:xmlDictionary
options: NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted // Pass 0 if you don't care about the readability of the generated string
error:&error];
// Print the dictionary
NSLog(@"%@", xmlDictionary);

Also, I made some modifications in the XMLReader file to make it more in my way.
