iOS iPhone SDK RSS Parser - Traversing XML

[computerartist]

I have used iPhone SDK parsers and am kind of familiar with the programming and the options.

My question is how to traverse an XML file with the following structure:

<election name="Latest Election Polls">
    <poll date="Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:36:44 -0500" pollster="Chicago Tribune" race="Illinois Governor - Brady vs. Quinn" year="2010" type="Governor" state="IL" poll_id="1361" spread="Brady +5.0">
        <candidate name="Brady" affiliation="Republican" value="37"/>
        <candidate name="Quinn" affiliation="Democrat" value="32"/>
    </poll>
</election>

???

NSXMLParser notifies it's delegate when the following occurs.

parserDidStartElement:

The method will pass in a dictionary object of attributes.


I personally would setup an object and use KVC.

for:

<election name="Latest Election Polls">
    <poll date="Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:36:44 -0500" pollster="Chicago Tribune" race="Illinois Governor - Brady vs. Quinn" year="2010" type="Governor" state="IL" poll_id="1361" spread="Brady +5.0">
        <candidate name="Brady" affiliation="Republican" value="37"/>
        <candidate name="Quinn" affiliation="Democrat" value="32"/>
    </poll>
</election>

How do I display?:

candidate >> name
candidate >> affiliation
candidate >> value

How do I display?:

candidate >> name
candidate >> affiliation
candidate >> value

parserDidStartElement: includes a dictionary of attributes for each element (attributeDict).

You might want to step back and read a little more about xml, objective c, and NSXMLParser. You can display the information however you want.
