If all the XML items are CF objects (strings, arrays, properties, etc.) then
you can use:
// ---------------------------------
// load a property list from an XML file
CFPropertyListRef CreatePropertiesFromXMLFile(const CFURLRef pCFURLRef)
{
CFDataRef xmlCFDataRef;
CFPropertyListRef myCFPropertyListRef = NULL;
Boolean status;
// Read the XML file.
status = CFURLCreateDataAndPropertiesFromResource(
kCFAllocatorDefault, pCFURLRef,
&xmlCFDataRef, NULL, NULL, NULL);
if (status)
{
// Reconstitute the dictionary using the XML data.
myCFPropertyListRef = CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(
kCFAllocatorDefault, xmlCFDataRef,
kCFPropertyListImmutable, NULL);
// Release the XML data
CFRelease(xmlCFDataRef);
}
return myCFPropertyListRef;
}
