//create an NSDictionary and initialize with whatever is in file.xml
yourDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:@"
http://www.yourdomain.com/file.xml";]];
Look at the docs for what you can do with NSDictionary and
NSMutableDictionary. It's basically a storage class that works like an
array but with keys rather than indexes.
so if your xml file was like this:
<dict>
<key>Favorite Movie</key>
<string>Warrior and the Princess</string>
<key>Least Favorite Movie</key>
<string>Anything in the theatres today</string>
</dict>
you could extract the string value with a function like this:
//create a string then set it to the value of the string of key
"Favorite Movie"
NSString *movieTaste;
movieTaste = [yourDictionary objectForKey:@"Favorite Movie"]

Hi there,
I'm pretty much new to this Obj-C/Cocoa thing, but have quite some
experience in PHP.
I want to create (eventually) an application which runs in the dock;
checks an XML file online (http) and local; parses them; checks if
anything changed between them; if so, find & report it to the user in
some way;store the data (part of it) locally for later evaluation;
At the moment, I'm just looking at how to open and parse an XML file.
I found the XML Services API docs, but can't find a good, clean sample
of how one can open an XML file remotely and parse it.
Could anyone give me some pointers on this, a tutorial would suffice,
but some example code wouldn't be bad either :)
thanks for any help,
Michiel.
