Answer 1

I wrote recursive function to parse any properly created xml with TBXML library.

In my project I have a class to parse XML. It has a Class Method named: + (id) infoOfElement: (TBXMLElement*) element

How to use:

TBXML *tbxml = [TBXML tbxmlWithXMLData:yourData];
TBXMLElement *rootXMLElement = tbxml.rootXMLElement;

id parsedData = [self infoOfElement: rootXMLElement];

    //return NSString or NSDictionary ot NSArray of parsed data
    + (id) infoOfElement: (TBXMLElement*) element
    {
        if (element->text)
            return [TBXML textForElement:element];
        NSMutableDictionary *info = [NSMutableDictionary new];
        TBXMLAttribute *attribute = element->firstAttribute;
        if (attribute) {
            do {
                [info setValue:[TBXML attributeValue:attribute] forKey:[TBXML attributeName:attribute]];
                attribute = attribute -> next;
            } while (attribute);
        }
        TBXMLElement *child = element->firstChild;
        if (child){
            TBXMLElement *siblingOfChild = child->nextSibling;
            //If we have array of children with equal name -> create array of this elements
            if ([[TBXML elementName:siblingOfChild] isEqualToString:[TBXML elementName:child]]){
                NSMutableArray *children = [NSMutableArray new];
                do {
                    [children addObject:[self infoOfElement:child]];
                    child = child -> nextSibling;
                } while (child);
                return [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:children forKey:[TBXML elementName:element]];
            }
            else{
                do {
                    [info setValue:[self infoOfElement:child] forKey:[TBXML elementName:child]];
                    child = child -> nextSibling;
                } while (child);
            }
        }            
        return info;
    }
