NSXMLParser is a forward only reader or an event driven parser. What it means is, an event is raised whenever the parser comes across a start of an element, value, CDATA and so on. The delegate of NSXMLParser can then implement these events to capture XML data. Some of the events are raised multiple times like the start of an element, value of an element and so on. Since NSXMLParser is known as an event driven parser, we can only read data at the present node and cannot go back. The iPhone only supports  NSXMLParser  and not  NSXMLDocument , which loads the whole XML tree in memory. Books Application To understand how to use an instance of NSXMLParser, let’s create a simple navigation based application where we will list the title of the book in the table view and upon selecting a title, display the detail information in a detail view.

Core Data helps you to save model objects (in the sense of the model-view-controller design pattern) to a file and get them back again. This is similar to archiving technology but Core Data offers much more than that. Amongst other things it… ·          Provides an infrastructure for managing all the changes to your model objects. This gives you automatic support for undo and redo, and for maintaining reciprocal relationships between objects. ·          Allows you to keep just a subset of your model objects in memory at any given time. This is especially important on iPhone where conserving memory is critical. ·          Uses a schema to describe the model objects. You define the principal features of your model classes—including the relationships between them—in a GUI-based editor. This provides a wealth of basic functionality “for free,” including setting of...
