Is there an equivallent for NSXMLParserDelegate in the cocoa touch framework?

Question

Like the title says, I want to parse XML in my iPhone application, but there is no NSXMLParserDelegate protocol like there is in the System Foundation framework.

Can I just add a reference to the /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework in my iPhone application?

Answer 1

Actually its ok, instead of implementing the NSXMLParserDelegate you can just not implement it and define the require methods, like:

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

and it magically works :)

Answer 2

The NSXMLParser documentation shows the delegate methods available to you

Answer 3

Also, a good library for parsing XML is TouchXml. I use it for parsing XML and its pretty easy to work with.
