Take a look at the popular AFNetworking networking library. This provides full networking functionality and very well documented code. Although you can also use Apple's networking APIs for this.

Simple AFNetworking example:

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];

NSDictionary *params = @{@"q":@"Chicago",
                         @"units":@"imperial",
                         @"type":@"like",
                         @"mode":@"json"
                         };

    [manager GET:@"http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather" parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

        //Success

    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {

        //Failure

    }];

There is this AFJSONRPCClient, which is a JSON-RPC Client built on AFNetworking.

Hope it helps.
