I'd guess that your file encoding isn't UTF8, so the © character is throwing the parser out of whack.

I started looking at this again today and realized that what I reported was only the first of 3 errors that are generated by the parser and only after the 3rd error and subsequent return from parseErrorOccurred: does the app actually crash -- the error dialog had been masking the error. I switch to NSLog() to avoid this.

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser parseErrorOccurred:(NSError *) parseError
{
NSLog(@"Error %i, Description: %@, Line: %i, Column: %i", [parseError code], [[parser parserError] localizedDescription], [parser lineNumber], [parser columnNumber]);
}


So I guess the parser keeps going even on error -- Here's what I see logged now:

12/2/07 2:06:07 PM LC[6561] Error 27, Description: (null), Line: 116, Column: 56
12/2/07 2:06:07 PM LC[6561] Error 27, Description: (null), Line: 116, Column: 66
12/2/07 2:06:07 PM LC[6561] Error 9, Description: (null), Line: 124, Column: 103


Error 9 seems to be:

NSXMLParserInvalidCharacterError - Invalid character encountered.

Line 124 doesn't have 103 columns -- odd. Not even sure if the R/C numbers line up where I think. Is newline included?

Line 124 to the end of the HTML I'm testing on looks like this:

      <p>© 2004-2005 HaX-Revolution, Ltd.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

I haven't made any other important observations or changes since. Maybe someone else can help who's using NSXMLParser?

Thanks.

Ok, I'm stumped!

I'm using NSXMLParser for the first time and things have been progressing nicely until I ran into the following:

The parser returns an error code of 27 which has no description -- the documented errors jump from 26 to 28 -- then the app crashes.

I'm using the parser to parse some HTML in this case and the line it's barfing on is...

           <li><a href="index.html">Home</a>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;</li>

...right at the beginning of the second "&nbsp". It really doesn't what I do to this line of HTML though, the parser always reports the same error at the same position. Very odd.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the crash. I just have no clue as to what is going wrong.


To start things off I do this:

- (void)parseURL:(id)url
{
   BOOL success;
   NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString: url];

   if (myParser)
       [myParser release];

   myParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL];
   [myParser setDelegate:self];
   [myParser setShouldResolveExternalEntities:NO];

success = [myParser parse]; // return value not used
// if not successful, delegate is informed of error
}



And my parser implements:

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *) elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName: (NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *) string

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *) elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName: (NSString *)qName

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser parseErrorOccurred:(NSError *) parseError
