Parsing the Root Element of XML with TBXML

502 Views Asked by At

Currently I am having an issue using TBXML to parse an XML service.

At the moment.... I am doing this: 

TBXML *configTBXML = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLData:[request responseData]];
TBXMLElement *root = configTBXML.rootXMLElement;
TBXMLElement *cddDataElement = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"data" parentElement:root];

NSMutableArray *anArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];


if ([TBXML valueOfAttributeNamed:@"timezone" forElement:cddDataElement]) {

    NSString *key = [TBXML valueOfAttributeNamed:@"timezone" forElement:cddDataElement];
    [anArray addObject:key];
}

So i notice.. in the XML file, there is really no root...

Sorry for the horribly formatted xml but if you notice... the header of the file is ... well.. essential for me to extract...

Now if I use : 

TBXMLElement *cddDataElement = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"data" parentElement:root];

I get a crash... I understand why becasue I'm accessing the PARENT element, whereas the child element is non-existant...

So my question is, how do I access the values/keys of the root element?

Issue resolved.... I found this function within the TBXML docs that actually extract every element attribute and attribute values, quite simply...

With use of a little C code...

- (void) traverseElement:(TBXMLElement *)element {
    do {
        // Display the name of the element
        NSLog(@"%@",[TBXML elementName:element]);

        // Obtain first attribute from element
        TBXMLAttribute * attribute = element->firstAttribute;

        // if attribute is valid
        while (attribute) {
            // Display name and value of attribute to the log window
            NSLog(@"%@->%@ = %@",  [TBXML elementName:element],
                  [TBXML attributeName:attribute],
                  [TBXML attributeValue:attribute]);

            // Obtain the next attribute
            attribute = attribute->next;

        }

        // if the element has child elements, process them
        if (element->firstChild)
            [self traverseElement:element->firstChild];

        // Obtain next sibling element
    } while ((element = element->nextSibling));
}

As you can see, alot is actually occuring.... recursion, c-pointers, etc. I make the call to this method like so:

    TBXML *configTBXML = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLData:[request responseData]];
    TBXMLElement *root = configTBXML.rootXMLElement;
    if (root) {
        [self traverseElement:root];
    }

This gives an output of:
