How to convert NSMutableData to NSString on iPhone?

I received an NSMutableData from a server and now I want to convert it to an NSString. Any ideas about how to do this?

+9  A: 

You can use the initWithData: initializer:

[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

Change the encoding to that of the source data.

If he's getting data from a server he very likely wants NSUTF8StringEncoding instead.
