Overview

Instances of this class parse XML documents (including DTD declarations) in an event-driven manner. An NSXMLParser notifies its delegate about the items (elements, attributes, CDATA blocks, comments, and so on) that it encounters as it processes an XML document. It does not itself do anything with those parsed items except report them. It also reports parsing errors. For convenience, an NSXMLParser object in the following descriptions is sometimes referred to as a parser object.

Note: Namespace support was implemented in NSXMLParser for Mac OS X v10.4. Namespace-related methods of NSXMLParser prior to this version have no effect.

Discussion

Through this method the parser object passes the contents of the block to its delegate in an NSData object. The CDATA block is character data that is ignored by the parser.

string

A string representing the complete or partial textual content of the current element.

Discussion

The parser object may send the delegate several parser:foundCharacters: messages to report the characters of an element. Because string may be only part of the total character content for the current element, you should append it to the current accumulation of characters until the element changes.

parser

A parser object.

parseError

An NSError object describing the parsing error that occurred.

Discussion

When this method is invoked, parsing is stopped. For further information about the error, you can query parseError or you can send the receiver a parserError message. You can also send the parser lineNumber and columnNumber messages to further isolate where the error occurred. Typically you implement this method to display information about the error to the user.
