NSDictionary returns null value after parsing

Question

I am doing XMLParsing for my app. To get the parsed value in dictionary i have used XMLReader.h and XMLReader.m file. It works for all web services but returns null. It gives me correct response in XML format.

Here is the code where I get the values in dictionary

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

    if(elementFound)
    {
        [soapResults appendString:string];
        NSLog(@"soap result of hotel  is %@",soapResults);
        NSError *parseError = nil;
        NSDictionary *xmlDixtionary =  [XMLReader dictionaryForXMLString:soapResults error:&parseError];

        NSLog(@"dictionary is  is %@",xmlDixtionary);
    }

}

But the log gives me a null value , what should I do to get the values in dictionary?

it gives me this error Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=5 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5.)" — Purva, Dec 27 '12 at 13:40
NSMutableDictionary * xmlDixtionary = (NSMutableDictionary*])[XMLReader dictionaryForXMLString:soapResults error:&parseError]; — Rajneesh071, Dec 27 '12 at 13:55
And can you show us an excerpt of the `soapResults` logging? — Rob, Dec 27 '12 at 14:09

soapResults isn't the full string that you are searching for, you have just append a piece of string to it.You need to keep appending characters and to create the dictionary only at the end of the element.

Implement this method:

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

I found Something for you : XML Parsing - NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5

It shows the possibility of problem in encoding.

One more link : [iPhone] Can not parse simple XML

Hope It will be useful for you.
