How to parse xml file that is encoded with another encoder different from utf-8 with using NSXMLParser in objective-C?

Question

Is there a way to parse xml file that is encoded with windows-1254 with using NSXMLParser? When i try, didStartElement method not called.

Answer 1

I removed the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1254" ?> part from xml data and then i send it to xmlParser, so there is no problem anymore.

Answer 2

Don't forget if parse() returns NO you can check parseError to see what happened:

if ([parser parse] == NO)
{
   NSError *error = [parser parserError];
   NSString *readableMessage = [error localizedDescription];
   NSLog(@"Error occurred: %@\n", readableMessage);
}
