nsxmlparser - NSXMLParsing for particular tag value

Question

I have an XML file that looks like this:

 <country>
            <routes>
                <SourceCountry>Ireland</SourceCountry>
                <SourcePort>Larne</SourcePort>
                <DestinationCountry>UK</DestinationCountry>
                <DestinationPort>Troon </DestinationPort>
                        </routes>
            <routes>
                <SourceCountry>Ireland</SourceCountry>
                <SourcePort>Larne</SourcePort>
                <DestinationCountry>UK</DestinationCountry>
                <DestinationPort>Cairnryan </DestinationPort>
                        </routes>
            <routes>
                <SourceCountry>Ireland</SourceCountry>
                <SourcePort>Belfast</SourcePort>
                <DestinationCountry>UK</DestinationCountry>
                <DestinationPort>Birkenhead </DestinationPort>
                        </routes>
            <routes>
                <SourceCountry>Ireland</SourceCountry>
                <SourcePort>Belfast</SourcePort>
                <DestinationCountry>Belgium</DestinationCountry>
                <DestinationPort>Heysham </DestinationPort>
                        </routes>
            <routes>
                <SourceCountry>Belgium</SourceCountry>
                <SourcePort>Warrenpoint</SourcePort>
                <DestinationCountry>UK</DestinationCountry>
                <DestinationPort>Heysham </DestinationPort>
                        </routes>

I want parse particular data for <SourceCountry> == Ireland and <DestinationCountry> == UK. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Use NSXMLParser

1. implement the delegate for this class ... <NSXMLParserDelegate>

2. 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.
