Answer 1

you can do like this NSXMLParser as asynchronous

dispatch_async( dispatch_get_global_queue(0, 0), ^{

    NSString * dovizUrl=@"http://www.tcmb.gov.tr/kurlar/today.xml";
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:dovizUrl];
    NSXMLParser *xmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
    xmlParser.delegate = self;
    // call the result handler block on the main queue (i.e. main thread)
    dispatch_async( dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        // running synchronously on the main thread now -- call the handler
        [xmlParser parse];
    });
});
