Overview

Instances of this class parse XML documents (including DTD declarations) in an event-driven manner. An NSXMLParser notifies its delegate about the items (elements, attributes, CDATA blocks, comments, and so on) that it encounters as it processes an XML document. It does not itself do anything with those parsed items except report them. It also reports parsing errors. For convenience, an NSXMLParser object in the following descriptions is sometimes referred to as a parser object.

Instance Methods

abortParsing

Stops the parser object.

- (void)abortParsing

Discussion

If you invoke this method, the delegate, if it implements parser:parseErrorOccurred:, is informed of the cancelled parsing operation.
