iOS xml file check

cinek · Jan 14, 2012

will this xml file be ok to parse it with an xml parser?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<page assetid="10204">
  <metadata>
    <dc>
      <created>2010-05-20 16:46:46</created>
      <description>Professional Services</description>
      <modified>13/04/2011 17:04:01</modified>
    </dc>

  </metadata>
  <standfirst></standfirst>
  <title>Business Services</title>
  <body>
    <[!CDATA[
      
		<div id="content" class="standard">
<h1>Business Services</h1>
<!-- call to action list : -->
<!-- no call to action's declared (globals_metadata_action.after: , replacement_root_node: , root_nodes: 21404,87) -->
<div id="content_div_10206">

    ]]>
  

</body>
</page>

or does it have to be something like:

Code:

<CATALOG><PLANT><COMMON>Bloodroot</COMMON><BOTANICAL>Sanguinaria canadensis</BOTANICAL><ZONE>4</ZONE><LIGHT>Mostly Shady</LIGHT><PRICE>$2.44</PRICE><AVAILABILITY>031599</AVAILABILITY></PLANT><PLANT>

Neither of your examples are well-formed. See http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_validator.asp.

(Or use this code.) Good luck 🙂

Code:

// clang -W -Wall -framework Foundation xmlvalidator.m
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    NSError *error = nil;

    if (argc == 2) {
        NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithCString:argv[1] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
                                              options:NSDataReadingUncached
                                                error:&error];
        if (!error) {
            NSXMLParser *parser = [[[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:data] autorelease];
            [parser parse];
            error = [parser parserError];
            if (error) {
                NSMutableDictionary *userInfo = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:8];
                [userInfo addEntriesFromDictionary:error.userInfo];
                [userInfo setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:parser.lineNumber] forKey:@"line"];
                [userInfo setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:parser.columnNumber] forKey:@"column"];
                error = [NSError errorWithDomain:error.domain code:error.code userInfo:userInfo];
            }
        }
    } else {
        error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"xmlvalidator"
                                    code:1
                                userInfo:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"usage: xmlvalidator filename.xml", NSLocalizedDescriptionKey, nil]];
    }

    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"%@", error);
    }

    [pool drain];

    return 0;
}
