Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/site_archiver%40lists.apple... libxml2 is a great parser if need an pre 10.4 support i was using it for a while. I recently decided that 10.4 is going to be a requirement for my next rev so I moved to NSXMLDocument which is a joy to use. Make sure you learn about XPath for selecting nodes. I use http:// www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp as a quick reference. NSXML will also take HTML, which i use it for alot with project, so you can XPATH to parse through an HTML document. What are the list of known problems in NSXMLParser? I have been using it for a little while now and I've had no problems. If anyone has any information on these known issues, can you please post it? I would also suggest ether CFXMLParser (with the said limitations), or NSXML as mentioned. A lot of work went into NSXML, and I use it happily whenever pre- Tiger compatibility is not an issue. There is a third option, NSXMLParser, but personally I think it has a number of problems and thus is not worth messing with given the other Apple and non-Apple options. I've just got my hands on objective C and cocoa and at the moment, I was given task to parse some XML files using the objective C project I am developing to get some attribute from the XML. I was given a folder of XML parser library written in C, but I am not sure how to use that to parse the XML files. Is there any sample code out there which I can refer to so that I can have better idea of how to parse XML files from my objective C class? Thanks a lot. In my own projects I used the expats bindings because I was familiar with it. When I last looked at it, the CF XML parser had somewhat underwhelming support of XML (no namespaces, for example) and (what I found to be) an unintuitive API. I haven't used the tree based parser yet, it may be better. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
