就xml解析来讲，目前用过的最简洁，速度最快的当属tbxml，是基于C框架的所以直接拿在iPhone上用了。
先说下用法，把tbxml的4个文件拖入class，然后为工程添加libz.dylib框架即可。
废话就不说了，直接看代码，如下：
定义了两个方法（其中一个带着递归子方法），分别处理已知结构和未知结构的xml。
//调用
- (void)viewDidLoad {
tbXml = [TBXML tbxmlWithXMLFile:@"books.xml"];
TBXML *tbXml2 = [TBXML tbxmlWithXMLString:@"<root><elem1 attribute1=\"elem1-attribute1\"/><elem2 attribute2=\"attribute2\"/></root>"];
TBXML *tbXml3 = [[TBXML alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.ifanr.com/feed"]];
[self testTBXM:tbXml];
[self dealUnknow:tbXml3];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
1.解析已知结构的xml。先看下xml的基本结构：
<?xml version="1.0"?>

//解析代码
- (void)testTBXM:(TBXML *)tbx {
TBXMLElement *root = tbx.rootXMLElement;
TBXMLElement *author = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"author" parentElement:root];
NSString *name = [TBXML valueOfAttributeNamed:@"name" forElement:author];
NSLog(@"author:%@", name);
TBXMLElement *book = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"book" parentElement:author];
TBXMLElement *descriptionElem = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"description" parentElement:book];
NSString * description = [TBXML textForElement:descriptionElem];
NSLog(@"author:%@", description);
}
2.递归解析未知结构的xml。
//主调用方法
- (void)dealUnknow:(TBXML *)tbx {
if (tbx.rootXMLElement) {
TBXMLElement *element = tbx.rootXMLElement;
[self recurrence:element];
}
else {
NSLog(@"Format Error!");
}
}
//递归子方法
- (void)recurrence:(TBXMLElement *)element {
do {
NSLog(@"<%@>:{%@}",[TBXML elementName:element], [TBXML textForElement:element]);// Display the name of the element
//迭代处理所有属性
TBXMLAttribute * attribute = element->firstAttribute;
while (attribute) {
//显示
NSLog(@"<%@>->[%@ = %@]", [TBXML elementName:element], [TBXML attributeName:attribute], [TBXML attributeValue:attribute]);
//迭代
attribute = attribute->next;
}
//递归处理子树
if (element->firstChild) {
[self recurrence:element->firstChild];
}
//迭代处理兄弟树
} while ((element = element->nextSibling));
}
总之，tbxml解析xml飞速、简洁，可惜不能操作回写，仅陷于解析，做rss巨合适不过了！
如想进步了解，请参加下篇，tbxml常用api：
==============================================================================
tbxml常用api：
文件
tbxml“框架”中包含的文件：
TBXML.h - tbxml声明
TBXML.m - tbxml实现
NSDataAdditions.h - NSData类别等的声明
NSDataAdditions.m - NSData类别等的实现，包括base64，gzip，NSData类别等等
==============================================================================
结构体
TBXMLElement结构体，包含XML中对应element的信息. 包括元素标签名、元素text值、指向第一个属性对象的指针、父元素、首个子元素，以及下一个兄弟元素.可以用这个结构体创建一个链表（树）来表示一个完整的xml文件.
结构如下：
typedef struct _TBXMLElement {
char * name;
char * text;
TBXMLAttribute * firstAttribute;
struct _TBXMLElement * parentElement;
struct _TBXMLElement * firstChild;
struct _TBXMLElement * currentChild;
struct _TBXMLElement * nextSibling;
struct _TBXMLElement * previousSibling;
} TBXMLElement;
TBXMLAttribute结构体，包含了xml中的属性信息. 包括属性名、属性值和下一个兄弟属性对象的指针. 使用这个结构可以创建一个Element的属性链表.
typedef struct _TBXMLAttribute {
char * name;
char * value;
struct _TBXMLAttribute * next;
} TBXMLAttribute;
TBXMLElementBuffer结构体，是用来缓存TBXMLElement结构体对象的. 当被使用时, 将新建一个缓存区并连接到前一个上（链表）.这样可以有效的管理Element在内存的创建和回收.
typedef struct _TBXMLElementBuffer {
TBXMLElement * elements;
struct _TBXMLElementBuffer * next;
struct _TBXMLElementBuffer * previous;
} TBXMLElementBuffer;
TBXMLAttributeBuffer结构体，是用来缓存TBXMLAttribute对象的. 当被使用时, 将新建一个缓存区并连接到前一个上（链表）. 这样可以有效的管理Attribute在内存的创建和回收.
typedef struct _TBXMLAttributeBuffer {
TBXMLAttribute * attributes;
struct _TBXMLAttributeBuffer * next;
struct _TBXMLAttributeBuffer * previous;
} TBXMLAttributeBuffer;
==============================================================================
方法
1.实例化
+ (id)tbxmlWithXMLFile:(NSString*)aXMLFile;
用xml文件名(包括扩展名)实例化一个tbxml对象
例如：TBXML * tbxml = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLFile:@"books.xml"];
- (id)initWithXMLFile:(NSString*)aXMLFile fileExtension:(NSString*)aFileExtension
用xml文件名和扩展名实例化一个tbxml对象
例如：TBXML * tbxml = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLFile:@"books" fileExtension:@"xml"];
- (id)initWithXMLString:(NSString*)aXMLString
用一段xml内容代码来实例化一个tbxml对象
例如：tbxml = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLString:@"<root><elem1 attribute1=\"elem1 attribute1\"/><elem2 attribute2=\"elem2 attribute2\"/></root>;"];
- (id)initWithXMLData:(NSData*)aData
用一个封装了xml内容的NSData对象来实例化tbxml对象
例如：TBXML * tbxml = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLData:myXMLData];
- (id)initWithURL:(NSURL*)aURL
用一个URL来实例化一个tbxml
例如：tbxml = [[TBXML alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.ifanr.com/feed"]];
2.成员方法
+ (TBXMLElement*) childElementNamed:(NSString*)aName parentElement:(TBXMLElement*)aParentXMLElement
获得aParentXMLElement元素的首个名字为aName的元素
例如：TBXMLElement * author = [TBXML childElementNamed:@"author" parentElement:rootXMLElement];
+ (TBXMLElement*) nextSiblingNamed:(NSString*)aName searchFromElement:(TBXMLElement*)aXMLElement
返回下一个名为aName的兄弟元素
例如：TBXMLElement * author = [TBXML nextSiblingNamed:@"author" searchFromElement:author];
+ (NSString*) valueOfAttributeNamed:(NSString *)aName forElement:(TBXMLElement*)aXMLElement
返回aXMLElement元素中，名为aName的属性的属性值。
例如：NSString * authorName = [TBXML valueOfAttributeNamed:@"name" forElement:authorElement];
+ (NSString*) textForElement:(TBXMLElement*)aXMLElement
返回元素aXMLElement的text值
例如：NSString * bookDescription = [TBXML textForElement:bookElement];
+ (NSString*) elementName:(TBXMLElement*)aXMLElement;
返回元素aXMLElement的标签名
例如：NSString * elementName = [TBXML elementName:element];
+ (NSString*) attributeName:(TBXMLAttribute*)aXMLAttribute;
返回属性aXMLAttribute的属性名
例如：NSString * attributeName = [TBXML attributeName:attribute];
+ (NSString*) attributeValue:(TBXMLAttribute*)aXMLAttribute;
返回属性aXMLAttribute的属性值
例如：NSString * attributeValue = [TBXML attributeValue:attribute];
常用的基本就这些，通过合理的迭代，递归等组合调用，基本可以解决所有的解析问题。
