Re: NSXMLParser question


Yes, not all RSS feeds are well-formed XML. These feeds aren't correct, but if you want to be able to parse them you can't use NSXMLParser (since a real XML parser won't parse a non-well-formed feed).

So what's the purpose of NSXMLParser then?

Given that, why are you writing your own RSS parser at all? Brent Simmons has posted open-source code to an RSS parser using CoreFoundation routines. You can find it at <http://ranchero.com/cocoa/rss/>. Note that I haven't looked at it, I'm just assuming it's decent since he's the author of NetNewsWire (and NetNewsWire 2 rocks)

I can't say why, but I checked out the code from Brent. I'm using that instead of NSXMLParser, although it doesn't support the Atom protocol, but I don't think that's used so much.

Thanks
