Answer 1

You should have a look at parser:didStartElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:attributes:. The names are then in the attributes dictionary.

Edit:

If the following doesn't help you, you should read some introduction stuff.

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
    if ([[attributeDict objectForKey: @"name"] isEqualToString: @"Local"]) {
        NSLog(@"found category with name Local");
    }
}
