I've just got my hands on objective C and cocoa and at the moment,
I was
given task to parse some XML files using the objective C project I am
developing to get some attribute from the XML. I was given a folder
of XML
parser library written in C, but I am not sure how to use that to
parse the
XML files. Is there any sample code out there which I can refer to
so that I
can have better idea of how to parse XML files from my objective C
class?
Thanks a lot.
Another alternative is expat, a well known C based XML parser; there
are objective-C bindings here (http://unix.freshmeat.net/projects/
expatobjc/).
In my own projects I used the expats bindings because I was familiar
with it. When I last looked at it, the CF XML parser had somewhat
underwhelming support of XML (no namespaces, for example) and (what I
found to be) an unintuitive API. I haven't used the tree based
parser yet, it may be better.
Were I to start a new project using XML, I would look first at
apple's tree based parser, then if that were not suitable use expat.
