Parsing SO RSS feed using TouchXML, no <entry> tags
I am trying to parse a Stack RSS feed for a specific question: stack overflow
For this, I use the TouchXML library. The problem seems to be in the following code:
CXMLDocument *parser = [[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:sourceData options:0 error:nil];
NSArray *allEntries = [parser nodesForXPath:@"//entry" error:nil];
NSLog(@"Found entries: %d",[allEntries count]); //Returns 0
The NSLog statement must return the number of all entries in the feed. In this case, it should be "3", the problem is that it returns 0.
I found that this piece of code works:
CXMLDocument *preParser = [[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:sourceData options:0 error:nil];
NSString *sourceStringUTF8 = [preParser XMLString];
[preParser release];
CXMLDocument *parser = [[CXMLDocument alloc] initWithData:[sourceStringUTF8 dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] options:0 error:nil];
NSArray *allEntries = [parser nodesForXPath:@"//entry" error:nil];
NSLog(@"Found entries: %d",[allEntries count]); //Returns 3, which is ok
But using it seems hacked (perhaps it is) and introduces several other sporadic errors.
As far as I know, the correct Xpath expression. I checked it using this page .
Can someone help me with this problem or point me in the right direction.
Thank.
