Question

Answer 1

There are two types of Parsers.

Ones that scan through the document line by line and provide information about each element it encounters in sequence. In this you have to map out your own tree-structure of the document. If I remember correctly this is how the default NSXMLParser works.

The other kind reads in the whole document and identifies the XML structure for you. You are then free to step through the document as you please, using something like XPath. Google's GData is an example.

(I will have to double check the examples I gave. I'll edit my post if I am incorrect, or the community will let us know ;)
