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
