Parsing XML file with NSXMLParser - getting values

First you need to create an object that does the parsing. It will instatiate the NSXMLParser instance, set itself as the delegate for the parser and then call the parse message. It can also be responsible for storing your four result arrays:

NSXMLParser * parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:_data];[parser setDelegate:self];BOOL result = [parser parse];

The message you are most interested in implementing in your delegate objects is didStartElement. This guy gets called for each element in your XML file. In this callback you can add your name, price & where attributes to their respective arrays.

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parserdidStartElement:(NSString *)elementName  namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName    attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{    // just do this for item elements    if(![elementName isEqual:@"item"])        return;    // then you just need to grab each of your attributes    NSString * name = [attributeDict objectForKey:@"name"];    // ... get the other attributes    // when we have our various attributes, you can add them to your arrays    [m_NameArray addObject:name];    // ... same for the other arrays}

To get the value between the tags (e.g. "This is the first product.") you can override - (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string

in the follwing method

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {    if([elementName isEqualToString:@"item"]) {        NSString *name=[attributeDict objectForKey:@"name"];        NSString *price=[attributeDict objectForKey:@"price"];        NSString *where=[attributeDict objectForKey:@"where"];    }}
