Understanding How to Properly Abort Parsing with NSXMLParser and Avoid Crashes
Understanding NSXMLParser and Its Delays NSXMLParser is a class in iOS that allows you to parse XML data from a string, stream, or file. When an instance of this class is created, it will start parsing the data provided to it as soon as possible. However, parsing is not a simple process and often involves multiple steps such as reading, decompressing (if necessary), and then processing the parsed data. In many cases, you want to control when the parsing starts or stops.
