The DTD markup defines the legal document structure of an XML document by defining a list of valid elements and attributes.

We will be implementing the following delegate methods for the XML example of this chapter, as follows:

  • parserDidStartDocument(_:): This method is called when the parser begins parsing the XML document

  • parserDidEndDocument(_:): This method is called after the parser has successfully parsed the entire XML document

  • parser(_: didStartElement: namespaceURI: qualifiedName: attributes:): This method is called when the parser encounters a start tag for an element

  • parser(_: didEndElement: namespaceURI...
