I'm trying to parse a xml file from a server with XMLparser in swift,
I have a var m_items that is a NSMutableArray and a CItemData object that has
var m_id:String = ""
var m_type:CLong = CLong(0)
var m_title:String = ""
var m_description:String = ""
var m_data:String = ""
override init()
{
super.init();
}
init(id: String, title:String, type:CLong) {
self.m_id = id;
self.m_title = title;
self.m_type = type;
this is the xml with a items root a item id and some values like title, description and data.
<items>
<item id="1" type="1">
<title>
<![CDATA[ Definition of Hacker ]]>
</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ Description 1 ]]>
</description>
<data>
<![CDATA[ Data 1 ]]>
</data>
</item>
</items>
I'm trying to parse like this, but I don't understand how to use didstartelement correctly. Any help? My code is from an example but doesn't fits with my needs. The problem is
func parser(_ parser: XMLParser, didStartElement elementName: String, namespaceURI: String?, qualifiedName qName: String?, attributes attributeDict: [String : String])
{
var attr:String = ""
if(elementName == "items")
{
self.m_root = CItemData();
self.m_last_node = self.m_root;
}
else if(elementName == "item")
{
attr = attributeDict["id"]!
let item:CItemData = CItemData()
item.m_id.setObject(attr , forKey: "id" as NSCopying)
self.m_root?.m_id.add(item)
self.m_last_item = item;
self.m_last_node = item;
}
else if(elementName == "child")
{
attr = attributeDict["id"]!
let child:CItemData = CItemData()
child.m_type.setObject(attr , forKey: "id" as NSCopying)
self.m_last_item?.m_type.add(child)
self.m_last_node = item;
}
}
func parser(_ parser: XMLParser, didEndElement elementName: String, namespaceURI: String?, qualifiedName qName: String?) {
if(elementName == "title")
{
self.m_last_node?.m_title = self.m_last_string
}
else if(elementName == "description"){
self.m_last_node?.m_description = self.m_last_string
}
else if(elementName == "data"){
self.m_last_node?.m_data = self.m_last_string
}
}
func parser(_ parser: XMLParser, foundCharacters string: String)
{
self.m_last_string = string;
}
}
