Forming a JSON Data request in Objective C

I have to send the following JSON data in request for a web service. So how can I create the following type of JSON using iOS/objective C: 

{
"version": "1.0",
"myData": [
    {
        "name": "",
        "value": [
            {
                "time": "1-JAN-2013 14:30:00 IST",
                "values": [
                    {
                        "name": "",
                        "value": ""
                    }
                ]
            }]
    }]
}

I tried : 

NSDictionary* version = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
  [1.0 objectForKey:@"version"], [NSArray objectForKey:@"observations"]

Am I missing something ?

NSMutableArray *output = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; NSMutableDictionary *outputObjects = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"temp-value",@"name", @"72.0",@"value",nil]; [output addObject:outputObjects];

NSMutableArray * myData = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSMutableDictionary *recordObjects = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                    @"23-JUL-2014 10:42:00 IST",@"time",
                    output,@"value",
                    nil];
[records addObject:recordObjects];


NSMutableArray *observationValues = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSMutableDictionary *observationValuesObjects = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                               @"val",@"name",
                              records,@"record",nil];
[observationValues addObject:observationValuesObjects];


NSDictionary *postData = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                @"1.0.1",kPostData,
                                observationValues,@"observations",
                                nil]

I think it must be like this

NSArray arrObservations=[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"",@"name",arrayValue,@"value", nil]];

NSDictionary* version = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:1.0],@"version",arrayObservations,@"myData", nil];

NSMutableURLRequest* request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] ;
receivedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithLength:0];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:[jsonString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSURLConnection *connection= [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
