The class you need is NSXMLParser and the delegate NSXMLParserDelegate.

Have a look here or even here at SO. What you are looking for is to parse an XML document, and you can do it with the NSXMLParser class, libxml2, or other libs/tools mainly based on those two. Also you'd better have a look at this project by Apple it will show you the main differences in terms of performance between technologies

Answer 3

First of all you need to parse your xml file. You can use the NSXMLParser class. How exactly you would do this, depends on the structure of your xml file. There are a lot of tutorials on the Internet about how to use it, for example see here or here.
