NSXMLParser shreds umlauts (ä, ö, ü)
cocoa-touch, iphone, nsxmlparser, xml
Solution
Sorry but based on your comment on the original question (foundCharacters receiving the text in two calls) the parser is behaving perfectly well. See the "Discussion" section for the parser:foundCharacters: method quoted below:
The parser object may send the delegate several parser:foundCharacters: messages to report the characters of an element. Because string may be only part of the total character content for the current element, you should append it to the current accumulation of characters until the element changes.
As you can see the parser is free to pass your delegate the characters in as many chunks as it sees fit.
Problem
I use NSXMLParser for parsing XML documents of a server. They are encoded as UTF8. My problem is, that NSXMLParser breaks at umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and starts a new element. For example: Lösen -- NSXMLParser ---> L + ösen How do I get NSXMLParser to read my umlaut words completely, as every other word. Regards
