NSXMLParser ios - How to parse child nodes - ios

Question

I have an xml format, here's the part of it..
<a:IngredientItemIds xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays">
enter<b:int>206932</b:int><b:int>206930</b:int></a:IngredientItemIds><a:IsGiftCard>false</a:IsGiftCard>
..and so on..
My problem is that the XML parser fetches "none" for element "IngredientItemIds"
Instead what I wanted was an array of all "int" tags..
I am using the methods of NSXML parser foundcharacters, didstartElement and didEndElement
Does Any one know how to parse the child nodes in NSXMLparser ?
Thanks.

Try this:
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict{
// If the current element name is equal to "a:IngredientItemId " then initialize the temporary dictionary.
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"a:IngredientItemIds"]) {
self.dictTempDataStorage = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
}
// Keep the current element.
self.currentElement = elementName;
}
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName{
if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"a:IngredientItemIds"]) {
[self.arrNeighboursData addObject:[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:self.dictTempDataStorage]];
}
else if ([elementName isEqualToString:#"b:int"]){
// If the b:int element was found then store it.
[self.dictTempDataStorage setObject:[NSString stringWithString:self.foundValue] forKey:#"b:int"];
}
// Clear the mutable string.
[self.foundValue setString:#""];
}
-(void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string{
// Store the found characters if only we're interested in the current element.
if ([self.currentElement isEqualToString:#"b:int"] ) {
if (![string isEqualToString:#"\n"]) {
[self.foundValue appendString:string];
}
}
}
