remember to set in your h file. NSXMLParserDelegate and set

- (void)didload
{

    NSString *site = [NSString   stringWithFormat:@"http://www.mysite.it/mydirectory/myxml"];
    NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString:site];

    myParser =  [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL];
    [myParser setDelegate:self];  
    [myParser parse];
}
- (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName 
  namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName 
    attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {

    if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"title"]) {
        NSLog(@"element %@",attributeDict);
        //do something
    }
    else if ([elementName isEqualToString:@"content"]){
        NSLog(@"element %@",attributeDict);
        //do something
    }
    //ecc
}

this is very simplified method. for more detail http://www.xcode-tutorials.com/parsing-xml-files/
