I am needing to parse an XML file for my app and I dont have any clue how to do it. I went through one XMLParser tutorial, and it worked fine but the XML file in the tutoria
The default XML parsing on the iPhone is pretty tragic compared with contemporary scripting languages. If you are doing serious parsing with complex objects with multiple levels of child objects, then god help you with NSXMLParser.
I would recommend checking out TouchXML which offers a much more civilized solution that is closer to what you might see in a language like Python or Actionscript in terms of its implementation within your own source.
