NSXMLParser for RSS

[kev]

Thank you in advance for helping me with this bug.

I am trying to parse an xml RSS feed with HTML in the CDATA. I am using an NSXMLParser and getting the CDATA information using the delegate foundCDATA and then parsing the CDATA information. The CDATA is as follows:

<![CDATA[<h3>Courtyard Cafe - <em>closed for the interim, reopens Tues. 9/13<br /></em></h3> <h3>Collis Cafe - <em>closed for the interim, reopens Wed. 9/14<br /></em></h3>

My parsing succeeds until it reaches the <br />, at which point it breaks and kicks the error NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 5. The documentation doesn't tell me much about the error.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this error? Is the HTML/XML malformed? Is the <br /> unreadable by NSXMLParser?

Does your xml not include the closing tags for the CDATA? As it stands what you posted is definitely malformed

It may be choking on the <br /> tag. Some parsers would intrerpret this as a closing tag with out an opening one. For tryseys, remove the / from your br tags and see if the parser chokes.
