I need your help, i want to parse an XML file using GDataXMLDocument and i want to fetch particular tag's all attributes but when i am using or just provide me the XPath's value to get columnHeading value
GDataXMLDocument *doc = [[GDataXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
NSArray *tempArray = [doc nodesForXPath:#"//root/xsd:schema" namespaces:nil error:nil];
it returns below error.
XPath error : Undefined namespace prefix
xmlXPathEval: evaluation failed
And here is my XML content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SH xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:rowset">
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:saw-sql="urn:saw-sql" targetNamespace="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:rowset">

Stuck here from last 3 days. need your help.
Thanks in advance.
Finally i got the solution related to my question... and here is the answer for that.
GDataXMLDocument *doc = [[GDataXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
NSDictionary *myNS = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:rowset", #"xmlns",
#"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", #"xsd",
#"urn:saw-sql",#"saw-sql", nil];
NSArray *tempArray = [doc nodesForXPath:#"//xmlns:RS/xsd:schema/xsd:complexType/xsd:sequence/xsd:element" namespaces:myNS error:nil];
NSMutableArray *keyArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithCapacity:0];
for(GDataXMLElement *columns in tempArray)
{
GDataXMLNode *xmlElement = [columns attributeForName:#"saw-sql:columnHeading"];
// GDataXMLNode* xmlElement = [[[element2 elementsForName:#"xsd:element"]objectAtIndex:0]attributeForName:#"saw-sql:columnHeading"];
[keyArray addObject:xmlElement.stringValue];
// NSLog(#"%#",xmlElement.stringValue);

I'm developing epub reader program.
To get contents of the epub file, I wanted to parse container.xml.
Here it is.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<container version="1.0" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container">
<rootfiles>
<rootfile full-path="OPS/content.opf"
media-type="application/oebps-package+xml"/>
</rootfiles>
</container>
I wanted to get element, so I used following code.
CXMLDocument* manifestFile = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:manifestFilePath] options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
NSArray* nodes = [manifestFile nodesForXPath:#"//rootfiles" error:nil];
NSLog(#"Nodes count is %d\n", [nodes count]);
And I get the following result.
Nodes count is 0
Why do I got this result?
Please help me.
Thanks.
The problem is that your XML has a namespace. You need to explicitly define the namespaces to use when querying with XPath.
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container",
#"oasis",
nil];
NSArray* nodes = [manifestFile nodesForXPath:#"//oasis:rootfiles" namespaceMappings:dict error:nil];
NSLog(#"Nodes count is %d\n", [nodes count]); // --> Nodes count is 1
Ugh, I'm having a dickens of a time parsing xml from Exchange Web Services. I want to get the ItemID Id=xyz attribute (AAATAG...). Here is the XML:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Header><t:ServerVersionInfo xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" MajorVersion="8" MinorVersion="3" MajorBuildNumber="137" MinorBuildNumber="0"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><m:FindItemResponse xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"><m:ResponseMessages><m:FindItemResponseMessage ResponseClass="Success"><m:ResponseCode>NoError</m:ResponseCode><m:RootFolder TotalItemsInView="1" IncludesLastItemInRange="true"><t:Items><t:CalendarItem><t:ItemId Id="AAATAGNvb3Blcm1qQG11b2hpby5lZHUARgAAAAAA+Q4xQgA/2kCus7bZbZddngcA8vxBsULRa0S+uFR566ChHwAAAB4BwgAABgoCL+IgvEaj+O0Bl9BG2AAQEOyJMwAA" ChangeKey="DwAAABYAAAAGCgIv4iC8RqP47QGX0EbYABARELYs"/><t:Organizer><t:Mailbox><t:Name>Cooper, Micah</t:Name></t:Mailbox></t:Organizer></t:CalendarItem></t:Items></m:RootFolder></m:FindItemResponseMessage></m:ResponseMessages></m:FindItemResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
I'm using GDataXML, and here is my code:
- (void)parseFeed:(GDataXMLElement *)doc entries:(NSMutableArray *)entries {
NSLog(#"%#", doc);
NSDictionary *namespaceMappings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages", #"messages",
#"http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types",#"types", nil];
NSArray *items = [doc nodesForXPath:#"//types:CalendarItem" namespaces:namespaceMappings error:nil];
for (GDataXMLElement *item in items) {
NSLog(#"Item: %#", item.stringValue);
NSString *itemID = [[item attributeForName:#"ItemId Id"] stringValue];
NSLog(#"itemID: %#", itemID);
}
}
I'm not pulling the item id -- in fact, it looks as if it is parsing at random places in the XML. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I'm totally new to XML.
Does anyone have a sample code to help me build a custom class that would parse Microsoft .asx files to play mms streams in sequence on the iPhone?
Some Googling revealed to me that .xml and .asx are somewhat related, though the second one is very limited if compared to the first.
I need to play three streams in sequence, inside an .asx container like this:
<asx version="3.0">
<TITLE>MYSONGS</TITLE>
<entry>
<TITLE>www.mysite.com</TITLE>
<ref href="mms://mysite.com/musicFolder/song1.wma" />
</entry>
<entry>
<TITLE>MYSONGS</TITLE>
<ref href="mms://mysite.com/musicFolder/song2.wma" />
</entry>
<entry>
<TITLE>www.mysite.com</TITLE>
<ref href="mms://mysite.com/musicFolder/song3.wma" />
</entry>
</asx>
I'm already able to parse the mms stream, decode and play the wma file. I'm just not able yet to parse .asx content, to play the streams in sequence. Thanks!
In my case I've been able to successfully parse .asx files using TouchXML, using this code (that I modified from the original version available at http://foobarpig.com/iphone/parsing-xml-element-attributes-with-touchxml.html):
// we will put parsed data in an a array
NSMutableArray *res = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: #"http://www.yoursite.com/WindowsMediaDotCom/theFileToParse.asx"];
/* have TouchXML parse it into a CXMLDocument */
CXMLDocument *document = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
NSArray *nodes = NULL;
// searching for piglet nodes
nodes = [document nodesForXPath:#"//ref" error:nil];
for (CXMLElement *node in nodes) {
NSMutableDictionary *item = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
int counter;
for(counter = 0; counter < [node childCount]; counter++) {
// common procedure: dictionary with keys/values from XML node
[item setObject:[[node childAtIndex:counter] stringValue] forKey:[[node childAtIndex:counter] name]];
}
// and here it is - attributeForName! Simple as that.
[item setObject:[[node attributeForName:#"href"] stringValue] forKey:#"href"]; // <------ this magical arrow is pointing to the area of interest
[res addObject:item];
[item release];
}
// and we print our results
NSLog(#"%#", res);
I'm working on an iPad project that is using functions in a WebService.
Handling webservice connection, data etc works find. But i'm not able to parse the result SOAP using TouchXML. Getting the nodes out of the xml always returns 0 length.
The output xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <soap:Body> <LogOnResponse xmlns="http://coreservices.org/v1"> <LogOnResult> <Id>1c0e9ad0-a3be-4cd0-8f0d-0616a63a4e28</Id> <userId>2</userId> <user> <ID>2 <Name>Beheerder <emailAddress /> <cultureName>nl-NL</cultureName> </user> </LogOnResult> </LogOnResponse> </soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
parser code:
NSData *aData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:[webData mutableBytes] length:[webData length]];
NSString *xmlData = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:aData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#", xmlData);
[xmlData release];
CXMLDocument *domUserIdentity = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:aData options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
[aData release];
NSArray *nodesList = [domUserIdentity nodesForXPath:#"//LogOnResult" error:nil]; // 0 length
for (CXMLElement *resultElement in nodesList) {
for (int counter = 0; counter
NSString *elemName = [[resultElement childAtIndex:counter] name];
NSString * elemValue = [[[resultElement childAtIndex:counter] stringValue] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
[elemName release];
[elemValue release];
}
}
[nodesList release];
Any idea what did i do wrong?
Thank's alot in advance.

Try using the NSXMLDocument, it should work as well as CXMLDocument. Here are some docs:

I recommend using an XPath Parser. You aren't doing anything too heavy, so the speed hit is well worth it. My personal choice is TFHpple. There are slightly faster and more precise solutions out there, but I find TFHpple's simplicity hard to beat.
Example:
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:#"example.html"];
// Create parser
xpathParser = [[TFHpple alloc] initWithXMLData:data];
NSArray *elements = [xpathParser search:#"//LogOnResult"];
TFHppleElement *element = [elements objectAtIndex:0];
// Get the text within the cell tag
NSString *content = [element content];
[xpathParser release];
[data release];
Obviously you'd have to write some code to save the parts you want. Looking at this data, I'd probably make a custom data holder class that you can access with properties. You can parse your XML into that and then save it as a property in the view controller that will be accessing it.
Happy coding!
I am stuck with some TouchXML code. Please help.
I have the following code to get the data from an xml webservice:
NSData *urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *data = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"String data: %# \n", data);
//Do the parsing
CXMLDocument *document = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding options:0 error:&error] autorelease];
NSLog (#"Document :%# \n",[document stringValue]);
The string data does have the content from the service, but how come the CXMLDocument object does not contain anything? Someone can tell me why?

TouchXML's documentation says that CXMLDocument should act just like NSXMLDocument. So, the reference for initWithData:options:error: might help.
It says the result will be nil if it's unsuccessful, and error will then contain more info. Is it nil?
You might consider using NSXMLDocument for the moment, and see if they really do act the same. If they don't, file a bug with TouchXML.
You could also use initWithXMLString:options:error: along with that string you already decoded.
Edit: Even better. Here's example code for using NSXMLDocument. In theory, it should work for CXMLDocument as well.
