XMLDictionary is an Objective-C library that parses XML into NSDictionary trees and generates XML from dictionaries, built on NSXMLParser with a DOM-style interface. It is officially deprecated and will receive no further updates or bug fixes.

Use cases

  • parse xml into nsdictionary on ios
  • convert xml to dictionary in objective-c
  • generate xml from nested data structures
  • use xml as data interchange format in cocoa apps
  • simplify xml parsing without sax events

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy iOS or macOS codebase already using it
  • you need simple dictionary-based XML parsing for flat nested data structures on Apple platforms

When to avoid

  • starting a new project, since it is deprecated
  • parsing HTML or documents with text interleaved with nested tags
  • you need standards-compliant XML handling or ongoing bug fixes
