ios - XML Parsing error in Swift -

i'm trying "modernize" 1 of our apps takes xml info noaa. existing app, using "simple xml nsdictionary converter" (http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/09/simple-xml-to-nsdictionary-converter/) works champ. because works , because i'm aiming rebuilt app converted swift much possible, attempted faithful conversion of xml nsdictionary code. unfortunately, i'm getting nsxmlparsererrorlinenumber=1, nsxmlparsererrorcolumn=47, nsxmlparsererrormessage=space required after public identifier.

the url of xml source http://forecast.weather.gov/mapclick.php?fcsttype=digitaldwml&lat=40.501368&lon=-79.865723 i'd love skip xml alternative avoid headaches, noaa's not consistent presents in different info formats (dwml, xml, json).

any ideas i'm messing up?

the code calls object below is:

var task = session.datataskwithrequest(request, completionhandler: {data, response, error -> void in println("task completed") if(error) { // if there error in request, print console self.delegate?.didcompletewitherror(error.localizeddescription) //println(error.localizeddescription) println("oops!") } var err: nserror? if self.responseformat == "json" { // blah blah blah ... code here work fine. snipped brevity } else if self.responseformat == "xml" { // set xml parsing code here var error = nserror() var xmlreader = xmldictionary(error: error) var xmlresult = xmlreader.dictionaryforxmldata(data, error: error) nsdictionary self.delegate?.didcompletewithdictionary(xmlresult) }

the "xml nsdictionary converter:

// // xmldictionary.swift // // import foundation class xmldictionary: nsobject, nsxmlparserdelegate { var dictionarystack = nsmutablearray() var textinprogress = "" allow xmlreadertextnodekey = "text" var errorp = nserror() func dictionaryforxmldata(data: nsdata, error: nserror) -> nsdictionary { var reader = xmldictionary(error: error) homecoming reader.objectwithdata(data, error: error) nsdictionary } func dictionaryforxmlstring(string: string, error: nserror) -> nsdictionary { var info : nsdata = string.datausingencoding(nsutf8stringencoding) homecoming dictionaryforxmldata(data, error: error) } init(error: nserror) { self.errorp = error } func objectwithdata(data:nsdata, error:nserror) -> nsdictionary { // clear out old info dictionarystack.removeallobjects() textinprogress = "" // initialize stack fresh dictionary dictionarystack.addobject(nsmutabledictionary()) // parse xml var parser = nsxmlparser(data: data) parser.delegate = self // more needed var success:bool = parser.parse() if success { println("parse success!") } else { println("parse failure!") } // homecoming stack's root dictionary on success var resultdict : nsdictionary! = dictionarystack[0] nsdictionary nslog(" in parser: %@", resultdict) homecoming resultdict nsdictionary } func parser(parser: nsxmlparser!,didstartelement elementname: string!, namespaceuri: string!, qualifiedname : string!, attributes attributedict: nsdictionary!) { // dictionary current level in stack var elementcount = dictionarystack.count - 1 if elementcount < 0 { elementcount = 0 } nslog("element: %d", elementcount) var parentdict = dictionarystack[elementcount] nsmutabledictionary // create kid dictionary new element , initialize attributes var childdict = nsmutabledictionary() childdict.addentriesfromdictionary(attributedict) // if there's item key, means need create array var existingvalue : anyobject? = parentdict[elementname]! anyobject if allow evalue : nsmutablearray = existingvalue as? nsmutablearray { var array = nsmutablearray() if evalue.iskindofclass(nsmutablearray) { // array exists, utilize array = evalue } else { array.addobject(evalue) // replace kid dictionary array of children dictionaries parentdict.setobject(array, forkey: elementname) } // add together new kid dictionary array array.addobject(childdict) } else { // no existing value, update dictionary parentdict.setobject(childdict, forkey: elementname) } // update stack dictionarystack.addobject(childdict) } func parser(parser: nsxmlparser!, didendelement elementname: string!, namespaceuri: string!, qualifiedname qname: string!) { // update parent dict text info var elementcount = dictionarystack.count - 1 if elementcount < 0 { elementcount = 0 } var dictinprogress = dictionarystack[elementcount] nsmutabledictionary // set text property if countelements(textinprogress) > 0 { // rid of leading + trailing whitespace dictinprogress.setobject(textinprogress, forkey: xmlreadertextnodekey) // reset text textinprogress = "" } // pop current dict dictionarystack.removelastobject() } func parser(parser: nsxmlparser!, foundcharacters string: string!) { // build text value textinprogress += string } func parser(parser: nsxmlparser!, parseerroroccurred parseerror: nserror!) { self.errorp = parseerror nslog("failure error: %@", parseerror) } }

thanks
