Question

In XML struct i have:

<font fontsize="10" fontcolor="#000000" fontface="file.ttf"/>

How do i get fontsize, color and face using NSXMLParser?
Of course i have the standard implementation

-(id)init
{
    self = [super init];

    parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myxmlfile" ofType:@"xml"]]];

    [parser setDelegate:self];
    [parser parse];

    return self;
}

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict 
{
    NSLog(@"Started Element %@", elementName);
    element = [NSMutableString string];
}

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
    NSLog(@"Found an element named: %@ with a value of: %@", elementName, element);
}

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
    if (element == nil)
        element = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
    [element appendString:string];
}

And it works beautifly for a <mytag>something</mytag>. How to get tag attributes?

Answer 1

Your attributeDictionary from

- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict 

contains them. Just call [atrributeDict objectForKey:@"fontColor"] for example
