Answer 1

Try something like:

xmlNodePtr node; // Some node
NSMutableArray *attributes = [NSMutableArray array];

for(xmlAttrPtr attribute = node->properties; attribute != NULL; attribute = attribute->next){
    xmlChar *content = xmlNodeListGetString(node->doc, node->children, YES);
    [attributes addObject:[NSString stringWithUTF8String:content]];
    xmlFree(content);
}

Answer 2

I think joostk meant attribute->children, giving something like this:

xmlAttr* attribute = node->properties;
while(attribute && attribute->name && attribute->children)
{
  xmlChar* value = xmlNodeListGetString(node->doc, attribute->children, 1);
  //do something with value
  xmlFree(value); 
  attribute = attribute->next;
}

See if that works for you.
