I assume from your tags that you're using NSXMLParser to parse the XML. In that case, you can do this:

NSString *xmlPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"MyFile" ofType:@"xml"]; NSData *xmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:xmlPath]; NSXMLParser *xmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:xmlData]; // do whatever you want with xmlParser
