Hello readers, today we will learn how we can parse XML data into NSDictionary in Swift.
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a popular and widely used format for representing data in a structured manner. To use the XML data on our Applications and Programs we parse the data same as for the JSON and format it according to the needs of our code.
In Swift, there are many ways as well as libraries that can parse the XML data for our application. In this article, we will use XMLParser, the most commonly used and straightforward way of parsing XML data.
You can also learn about our Flutter Development Services here.
The NSDictionary in Swift is a collection type under the Foundation framework that stores the data in key-value pairs. You can store your XML data in NSDictionary by following the below steps.
Firstly, import the Foundation at the beginning of your swift file.
After adding the Foundation, you need to create a class with XMLParserDelegate extended and add some variables to it.
Now add the below methods one by one on the XMLParses class we created.
The above method will be the main method that we will be calling for parsing the data and will return the dictionary with the parsed XML data.
The above methods will set our key and value for the dictionary. Once the above method sets the key and value we need to call the below method to add those key values in the dictionary.
Once the above setup is completed, you will have to call the parseXML method to initiate the parsing of the XML data.
After calling the main method, you will see the output for the XML string data as:-
So, In this article, we have learned about how can we parse XML data into NSDictionary.
