Use TBXML parsing to parse xml format data.

link TBXML

data should be in this format

<info>
<User>
<CountryId>13</CountryId>
<CountryName>Austrlia</CountryName>
</User>
<User>
<CountryId>12</CountryId>
<CountryName>India</CountryName>
</User>
<User>
<CountryId>17</CountryId>
<CountryName>test1</CountryName>
</User>
<User>
<CountryId>16</CountryId>
<CountryName>UK</CountryName>
</User>
</info>  

and parse as

TBXML * tbxml = [TBXML tbxmlWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];

    TBXMLElement *rootXMLElement = tbxml.rootXMLElement;

    if (rootXMLElement)
    {
        TBXMLElement * user = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"user" parentElement:rootXMLElement];


        while (user != nil)
        {

            TBXMLElement *CountryId = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"CountryId" parentElement:user];
            if (CountryId != nil)
            {
                NSLog(@"CountryId :: %@", [TBXML textForElement:CountryId]);
            }

            TBXMLElement *CountryName = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"CountryName" parentElement:user];
            if (CountryName != nil)
            {
                NSLog(@"CountryName :: %@", [TBXML textForElement:CountryName]);
            }

            user = [TBXML nextSiblingNamed:@"user" searchFromElement:user];
        }

    }
