RestKit parsing/Object mapping from locally stored XML - ios

Question

I am downloading a zip, unzipping it, and then attempting to parse and object map data from an xml file included in the zip. I know if the XML file was not in a zip I could do something like
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://restkit.org/articles"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
RKObjectRequestOperation *objectRequestOperation = [[RKObjectRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request responseDescriptors:#[ responseDescriptor ]];
But because I am download a zip, I have to (or at least I think I have to) use the following code
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.mediafire.com/download/6tfd33xkiepx8a3/db_UI.zip"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
self.operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]
initWithRequest:request];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"testDownload"];
self.operation.outputStream = [NSOutputStream outputStreamToFileAtPath:path append:NO];
// Set download completion block
[self.operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSLog(#"Successfully downloaded file to %#", path);
NSString *zipPath = path;
NSString *destinationPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
[SSZipArchive unzipFileAtPath:zipPath toDestination:destinationPath delegate:self];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
// NSLog(#"error: %#", operation.responseString);
}];
// Start download operation
[self.operation start];
[RKMIMETypeSerialization registerClass:[RKXMLReaderSerialization class] forMIMEType:#"application/xml"];
So in this case, how can I use RKObjectMapping. Or is there an alternative?.......

This is from Rest-Kit docs, This parsing JSON object if you can change the MIME Type you can do with XML and what ever
You can find it here: Rest-Kit docs
NSString* JSONString = #"{ \"name\": \"The name\", \"number\": 12345}";
NSString* MIMEType = #"application/json";
NSError* error = nil;
id<RKParser> parser = [[RKParserRegistry sharedRegistry] parserForMIMEType:MIMEType];
id parsedData = [parser objectFromString:JSONString error:&error];
if (parsedData == nil && error) {
// Parser error...
}
RKObjectMappingProvider* mappingProvider = [RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider;
RKObjectMapper* mapper = [RKObjectMapper mapperWithObject:parsedData mappingProvider:mappingProvider];
RKObjectMappingResult* result = [mapper performMapping];
if (result) {
// Yay! Mapping finished successfully
}
