Has anyone converted XML parsing code to Swift 3? I had working code and I’m struggling with upgrading it to Swift 3. For instance:

`self.xmlParser = XMLParser(data: xmlData)`

Reports an error (which appears on all lines where xmlParser is used:

`Instance member 'xmlParse' cannot be used on type 'XMLParsing'`

Same error on

`self.xmlParser.delegate = self`

Etc.

This code is inside a

`let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in ... }`

Any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks,  
Denis

Surely someone is using XML on this forum? I could use the help! 🙂
