Dear experts,
I'm new to Cocoa programming and find the amount of information
overwhelming. To limit the aggravation, I'd like some pointers to
relevant information and advises as to what classes I should base my
application on.
I want to develop an application that will parse a quite big XML file
(1-3MB, 1-5,000 records, or even more), process the information,
possibly writing the data to a local database (for performance
reasons if anything gained) and display the information in a custom
table/matrix view. The XML file will be downloaded daily, the
information retrieved/queried much more often. The application is not
document based, as there is only one XML file. In many aspects the
application resembles iCal quite a lot (read-only, however).
Now all the questions start to crop up... Should this be a Core Data
app? What classes do I use to read and parse the XML file with? NSXML
or CFXML classes? Do I write the data to a local database for faster
queries? Which one? Any good online articles or sample code that will
get me started?
Thanks in advance,
Joachim
