Painless, block using, easy request'n XML Parser

WCXMLParser

WCXMLParser is a block based XML parser based on NSXMLParser, with a pretty package wrapped around it. Syntax/Structure inspired by AFNetworking (I built it to work with AFNetworking's AFXMLRequestOperation and not have to use delegates). Wanted to make parsing XML painless as possible.

Using WCXMLParser

To use, simply drop the WXCMLParser.m/.h files into your project (fyi, it is ARC), include the .h file and you should be ready to go.

WCXMLParser Methods

/**
	Your WCXMLParser options are pretty much the same as the NSXMLParser ones
	 	WCXMLParserProcessNamespaces
    	WCXMLParserReportNamespacePrefixes
    	WCXMLParserResolveExternalEntities
 */

// Already have a parser, you can throw it in to use with the callbacks (looking at you AFNetworking)
+ (void)parseWithParser:(NSXMLParser *)parser success:(WCXMLParserSuccessCallback)success failure:(WCXMLParserErrorCallback)failure;

// Parse using an XML String
+ (void)parseXMLString:(NSString *)string withOptions:(WCXMLParserOptions)options success:(WCXMLParserSuccessCallback)success failure:(WCXMLParserErrorCallback)failure;

// Parse with data
+ (void)parseXMLData:(NSData *)data withOptions:(WCXMLParserOptions)options success:(WCXMLParserSuccessCallback)success failure:(WCXMLParserErrorCallback)failure;

// Even parse XML from a URL (RSS/ATOM feed for example)
+ (void)parseContentFromURL:(NSURL *)url withOptions:(WCXMLParserOptions)options success:(WCXMLParserSuccessCallback)success failure:(WCXMLParserErrorCallback)failure;

Example

    [WCXMLParser parseContentFromURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://github.com/wess.atom"] withOptions:0 success:^(WCXMLParser *parser, id parsedObject) {
        for(NSDictionary *entry in [[parsedObject objectForKey:@"feed"] objectForKey:@"entry"])
            [_items addObject:[[entry objectForKey:@"title"] objectForKey:@"text"]];
        
        [self.tableView reloadData];
    } failure:^(WCXMLParser *parser, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"PARSE ERROR: %@", [error description]);        
    }];

Notes:

• This project uses ARC
• This is still in early stages
