Try following code snippet

func parser(parser: NSXMLParser,
    didStartElement elementName: String,
    namespaceURI: String?,
    qualifiedName: String?,
    attributes attributeDict: [NSObject : AnyObject]){

        println("attributess name is \([attributeDict])")

        if elementName=="message" {
            let attrs = attributeDict
            if let prop = attrs["to"] {

                println("property 'to'=\(prop)")
            }

        }

}
