To import data into NSDate object you can use something like this:

NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"xmlfile" ofType: @"xml"];
NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile: path];

For parsing xml you can use NSXMLParser or some 3rdparty code like, for example: TBXML.
With TBXML you can load xml like this:

TBXML * tbxml = [[TBXML alloc] initWithXMLFile:@"books.xml"];
