IOS 解析XML文档

浏览数：19 / 时间：2015年06月11日

前段时间想找点事做，就是试着看能不能用豆瓣的API做点什么，于是就碰到了这个问题——XML解析。

　　老师还没讲，只能自己去查。

　　XML文档解析主要有SAX和DOM两种模式，IOS上两种模式都可以用，这里就不做过多介绍，我选择的SAX模式。

IOS解析XML用的是自带的NSXML框架，框架的核心是NSXMLParser类和它的委托协议NSXMLParserDelegate，其主要的解析工作是在NSXMLParserDelegate实现类中完成的。委托中定义了许多回掉方法，在SAX解析器从上到下遍历XML文档的过程中，遇到开始标签、结束标签、文档开始、文档结束和字符串结束是就会触发这些方法。这些方法有很多，下面我们列出5个常用的方法。

在文档开始时触发

 -(void)parserDidStartDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser

　　遇到一个新标签是触发，其中namespaceURI是命名空间，qualifiedName是限定名，attributes是字典类型的属性集合。

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

　　找到字符串时触发

    -(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string

　　遇到结束标签时触发

    -(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName

　　在文档结束时触发

-(void)parserDidEndDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser

下面通过一个具体的例子来看整个的调用与解析过程

首先这是我们将要解析的XML文件 "info.xml"

    ?    ?    ?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    ?    ?    ?<root>  ?    ?

    ?    ?    ?    ? <person id="1">

    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <firstName>Wythe</firstName>
   ?    ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <lastName>xu</lastName>
   ?    ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <age>22</age>  ?    ?    ?    ?

    ?    ?    ?    ? </person>
  ?    ?    ?
   ?    ?    ?    ? <person id="2">
   ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <firstName>li</firstName>
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <lastName>si</lastName>
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <age>31</age>
  ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ? </person>
    ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ?<person id="3">
   ?    ?    ?    ?    ?    
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <firstName>Dipen</firstName>
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ?    
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <lastName>Shah</lastName>
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ?    
    ?    ?    ?    ?    ? <age>24</age>
    ?    ?    ?    ?    
    ?    ?    ?    ? </person>
    ?    ?    ?    ?
    ?    ?    ?</root>

接来来是一个头文件 "ViewController.h"

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController<NSXMLParserDelegate>

@property NSXMLParser *parser;
@property NSMutableArray *person;
@property NSString *currenttag;

@end

然后是它的实现文件 "ViewController.m"

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()

@end

@implementation ViewController

@synthesize  parser = _parser , person = _person , currenttag = _currenttag;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    NSString *xmlFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"info"ofType:@"xml"];
    
    NSData *data = [[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:xmlFilePath];
    
    self.parser = [[NSXMLParser alloc]initWithData:data];
    
    self.parser.delegate = self;
    
    [self.parser parse];
    
    NSLog(@"%@",_person);
    
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

#pragma mark delegate method

-(void)parserDidStartDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser
{
    _person = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    NSLog(@"start parse 1");
}

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
    _currenttag = elementName;
    
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"person"]) {
        NSString *_id = [attributeDict objectForKey:@"id"];
        NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
        [dict setObject:_id forKey:@"id"];
        [_person addObject:dict];
    }
    
    NSLog(@"start element");
}

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
    NSMutableDictionary *dict = [_person lastObject];
    
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"firstName"] && dict) {
        [dict setObject:string forKey:@"firstName"];

    }
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"lastName"] && dict) {
        [dict setObject:string forKey:@"lastName"];
    }
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"age"] && dict) {
        [dict setObject:string forKey:@"age"];
    }
    
    NSLog(@"found characters");
}

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName
{
    _currenttag = nil;
    
    NSLog(@"end element");
}

-(void)parserDidEndDocument:(NSXMLParser *)parser
{
    NSLog(@"parse end");
}
@end

通过断电和输出信息，我们可以知道整个解析过程是开始解析文档、开始标签、找到字符串、结束标签、文档结束。

执行结果

而我们的处理主要是在 开始标签、找到字符串（

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

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string

）中。

遇到开始标签时，我们现判断标签，名字，如果是person，表明接下来就是person的信息，这样我们就先创建一个可变字典，以便将来存放它的值。

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict
{
    _currenttag = elementName;
    
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"person"]) {
        NSString *_id = [attributeDict objectForKey:@"id"];
        NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
        [dict setObject:_id forKey:@"id"];
        [_person addObject:dict];
    }
    
    NSLog(@"start element");
}

在找到字符串时，我们就是通过判断当前标签名，将对应的信息保存到刚刚创建的字典中

-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string
{
    NSMutableDictionary *dict = [_person lastObject];
    
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"firstName"] && dict) {
        [dict setObject:string forKey:@"firstName"];

    }
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"lastName"] && dict) {
        [dict setObject:string forKey:@"lastName"];
    }
    if ([_currenttag isEqualToString:@"age"] && dict) {
        [dict setObject:string forKey:@"age"];
    }
    
    NSLog(@"found characters");
}
