how can i parse the values in this xml?

回答1:

Use NSXMLParser.. Try following this tutorial:

programming guide on NSXMLParser

回答2:

to get to the attribute you first have to tell the compiler which element you want to take the attribute(s) from. So I would use an if statement. Lets say we want to get the "name" attribute value. It is inside the Sport element. So we would write.

if([elementname isEqualToString:@"Sport"]){
   nameString = [attributeDict objectForKey:@"name"];
}

it will look for the element Sport and then store the value of that elements attribute called name into an NSString we have names nameString.
