I'm guessing here but your JSON value is the number of milliseconds since 1970, right? You can use NSDate's dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970: method to return an NSDate object with the correct time. Just make sure to convert the JSON milliseconds number to seconds before passing it to NSDate-- Cocoa uses NSTimeInterval in most places, which represents an interval in seconds.
