Parsing an Xml using Soap Web Services

Question

i am trying to parse an xml file that i receive from a web service using the tutorial Soap Tutorial

..

i initialize the data received to a NSString as follows

NSString *theXML = [[NSString alloc] 
                        initWithBytes: [webData mutableBytes] 
                        length:[webData length] 
                        encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

`

    <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
<GetCategoryResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<GetCategoryResult>
<Root><Record><catid>1</catid><catname>Hi</catname><catlogo>http://10.25.4.49/monsoonstore/Category/50X50.GIF</catlogo></Record></Root></GetCategoryResult>
</GetCategoryResponse>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

when i parse the data my parser doesn't read the ROOT tag as it should but instead starts with the envelope tag.. how can i get the parser to parse the exact xml that i receive from the server i.e

<Root><Record><catid>1</catid><catname>Hi</catname><catlogo>http://10.25.4.49/monsoonstore/Category/50X50.GIF</catlogo></Record></Root>

how can i parse this webData with te correct tags??

If posible so just give me the url from where u getting this xml data i'll try my own and after that i'll give you the solution. — user755278, Jun 03 '11 at 06:55

To parse XML in iPhone, you need to use NSXMLParser. [NSXMLParser Class reference](http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSXMLParser_Class/Reference/Reference.html) — Swapna, Jun 03 '11 at 06:46

you may use the TouchXML parser to get better and desired results, and then use in XML parser function

NSString *responseString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
CXMLDocument *xmlParser = [[[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithXMLString:responseString options:0 error:nil] autorelease];
NSArray *returnNodes = NULL;
returnNodes = [xmlParser nodesForXPath:@"//Root" error:nil];
.
.
