NSXML Parser in iphone - iphone

I need to get the value of the following xml , I am using NSXML parser for parsing this
<boolean xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">true</boolean>
I need to get the "true " value from the above xml .
What should I do inside the NSXML parser delegate methods?

#import "XMLParser.h"
#implementation XMLParser
- (NSString *)parseXMLFile: (NSURL *) url
{
outstring = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: url];
[parser setDelegate: self];
[parser parse];
[parser release];
return [outstring autorelease];
}
//<boolean xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">true</boolean>
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
if (qName) elementName = qName;
if (elementName) current = [NSString stringWithString:elementName];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName
namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI
qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
current = nil;
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
if (!current) return;
if ([current isEqualToString:#"boolean"])
[outstring appendFormat:#"%#\n", string];
}
// <boolean xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">true</boolean>
-(void) parserDidStartDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser {
NSLog(#"parserDidStartDocument");
}
-(void) parserDidEndDocument: (NSXMLParser *)parser {
NSLog(#"parserDidEndDocument %#", outstring);
}
#end

if you want true value then do following:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
strVal=string;
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"boolean"])
{
//you can get 'true' value here
}
}

How to parse the xml file have same tag name using nsxmlparser?

How do I parse this type of XML using NSXMLParser
<category> <categoryName> userName</categoryName> <categoryName>password</categoryName><category>
Declare array and a string in h file like:
NSMutableArray *aryCategory;
NSString *strCategroyName;
in .m file for starting Parser use:
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:yourData]; // your data will be instance of NSData or NSMutableData
parser.delegate = self;
[parser parse];
this will be done once you get your xml data. For handling result you can use NSXMLParserDelegate as follows:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"category"]) {
aryCategory = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
strCategroyName = #"";
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string {
strCategroyName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", strCategroyName, string];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName {
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"categoryName"]) {
[aryCategory addObject:strCategroyName];
strCategroyName = #"";
}
}
Now you will have your array fill with all of your category name.
Hope this helps :)
Write the <category> in didStart and didEnd elements which are the parser's delegates.

How to parse XML Attributes with XMLParser delegates

getting pretty despirate here.. how on earth do I parse xml that have attributes in them.. I am completely lost,
this is what the xml that I am trying to parse looks like..
<Rows>
<Row SKATERID="706" MANUFACTURER="A-DZG" ISFACT="F" ISSKATE="F"/>
<Row SKATERID="318" MANUFACTURER="A.R.E." ISFACT="F" ISSKATE="T"/>
//...
</Rows>
Using your NSXMLParser Delegate method:
Updated my code. Here is the code which parses your XML.
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"Row"])
{
myAttrDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:attributeDict];
}
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"Rows"]
{
rowsArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"Row"])
{
[rowsArray addObject:myAttrDict];
[myAttrDict release],myAttrDict = nil;
}
}
- (void)parserDidEndDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser
{
NSLog(#"Rows Array: %#",rowsArray);
}

Use NSXMLParser
implement the delegate for this class ... <NSXMLParserDelegate>
implement the methods for this parser...
YOU will need the following methods..
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
You can read this tutorial; it is simple to use.

need help to parse xml string

i need to parse this xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<imageset>
<category>
<image>SQUIRREL</image>
<image>FOX</image>
<image>TIGER</image>
<image>LION</image>
</category>
</imageset>
i use this code to parse this.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
NSXMLParser *parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Config.xml"]]];
[super viewDidLoad];
[parser setDelegate:self];
[parser parse];
NSLog(#"test.......... %#",test);
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"image"]) {
test = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
addelements = TRUE;
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"image"]) {
addelements = FALSE;
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string{
[test addObject:string];
}
But it adds only last object,displays like this in console.
test.......... (
LION,
"\n\n",
"\n"
)
I need to add all image names in the xml file means {SQUIRREL,FOX,TIGER,LION}
how can i done,can any one please help me.
Thank u in advance.
Your problem is this method:
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"image"]) {
test = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
addelements = TRUE;
}
}
Every time an image tag starts, you overwrite the test variable with a new instance of NSMutableArray (leaking the previous object). You need to change it to something like this:
if (!test) test = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
That is: only allocate a new array if there wasn't an old one already.
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
[mutableString release];
mutableString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"image"]) {
if( !test ) test = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity: 10];
}
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"image"])
[test addObject: mutableString];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string{
[mutableString appendString: string];
}
where test and mutableString are ivars declared in your view controller's header
Note: this is very simplified version.
#Mahesh Babu yes you can also add the image by giving the name only as for example......
[UIImage imageNamed:#"SQUIRREL.jpg"];

How do I parse this SOAP response in my iPhone application?

I am getting SOAP response and when parsing the response I am getting this: (As you can see from result which is currently stored as NSString is NSLoged itself contain xml format data)
<Menus>
<Table1>
<Restaurant_Name>CHICK-FIL-A</Restaurant_Name>
<Restaurant_id>2748</Restaurant_id>
<Phone>(404) 371-1466</Phone>
<billing_city>DECATUR</billing_city>
<billing_state>GA</billing_state>
<billing_zip_code>30030</billing_zip_code>
<billing_addr1>105 EAST TRINITY PLACE</billing_addr1>
</Table1>
</Menus>
The Code for the above generated response:
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"GetMenusByZipCodeResult"])
{
if(!soapResults)
{
soapResults = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
recordResults = TRUE;
}
}
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
if(recordResults)
{
[soapResults appendString:string];
}
//NSLog(#" soap: %#", soapResults);
}
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName
{
if([elementName isEqualToString:#"GetMenusByZipCodeResult"])
{
NSLog(#"soapResult FINAL : %#",soapResults);
recordResults = FALSE;
result.text = soapResults;
[soapResults release];
soapResults = nil;
}
}
The above mention data is result of soapResult.
How to read this data? I tried to reparse it but it is not helping.
Please help me.
