[iPhone初级]IOS自带NSXMLParser对xml文件的解析

很多人都知道利用第三方来解析xml文件，这里我们介绍一下如何利用IOS自带的NSXMLParser来进行xml解析

我们要解析的文件如下：

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<theresponse>
 <status>OK</status>
 <pricing currency="USD" symbol="$">
   <price class="items">24.00</price>
   <price class="shipping">6.00</price>
   <price class="tax">1.57</price>
 </pricing>
</theresponse>

利用NSXMLParser解析，我们需要在需要解析的类中加入NSXMLParserDelegate，这其中有三个比较重要的方法，一个是

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict

这个方法主要是找到开始元素，例如我们要解析<status>，这里elementName就可以定位到status这里

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string

这个方法解析的是中间的值<status>OK</status>这里的OK就是这里的值

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName

最后一个方法就是定位到</status>这个节点，在这个节点我们就可以把我们解析出来的数据存入NSDictionary或是NSArray中去了

我们还是来看一下代码吧

ItemParser.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> @interface ItemParser : NSXMLParser <NSXMLParserDelegate> @property (readonly) NSDictionary *itemData; @end 

ItemParser.m

#import "ItemParser.h" @implementation ItemParser {     NSMutableDictionary *_itemData;     NSMutableDictionary *_attributesByElement;     NSMutableString *_elementString; } -(NSDictionary *)itemData{     return [_itemData copy]; } -(void)parserDidStartDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser{     _itemData = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];     _attributesByElement = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];     _elementString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init]; } -(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{     // Save the attributes for later.     if (attributeDict) [_attributesByElement setObject:attributeDict forKey:elementName];     // Make sure the elementString is blank and ready to find characters     [_elementString setString:@""]; } -(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string{     // Save foundCharacters for later     [_elementString appendString:string]; } -(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{     if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"status"]){         // Element status only contains a string i.e. "OK"         // Simply set a copy of the element value string in the itemData dictionary         [_itemData setObject:[_elementString copy] forKey:elementName];     } else if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"pricing"]) {         // Pricing has an interesting attributes dictionary          // So copy the entries to the item data         NSDictionary *attributes = [_attributesByElement objectForKey:@"pricing"];         [_itemData addEntriesFromDictionary:attributes];     } else if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"price"]) {         // The element price occurs multiple times.         // The meaningful designation occurs in the "class" attribute.         NSString *class = [[_attributesByElement objectForKey:elementName] objectForKey:@"class"];         if (class) [_itemData setObject:[_elementString copy] forKey:class];     }     [_attributesByElement removeObjectForKey:elementName];     [_elementString setString:@""]; } -(void)parserDidEndDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser{     _attributesByElement = nil;     _elementString = nil; } -(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser parseErrorOccurred:(NSError *)parseError{     NSLog(@"%@ with error %@",NSStringFromSelector(_cmd),parseError.localizedDescription); } -(BOOL)parse{     self.delegate = self;     return [super parse]; } @end

这里解析后的结果：

{     currency = USD;     items = "24.00";     shipping = "6.00";     status = OK;     symbol = "$";     tax = "1.57"; }

好了，解析完毕，这里的还有一个重点就是copy，希望各位同学能多注意每个变量的记数。我自己也是JAVA做习惯了，过早释放，老是取不到值。呵呵，谨记。
