A lot of questions, hard to answer without knowing some more detail.
But generally, use NSXML. It has more features, and I would think it
is generally better maintained than CFXMLParser (which is robust, but
not exactly feature rich)

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
