List of all American holidays as NSDates

Question

I'm seeking a way to get all American holidays as an array of NSDates. Is there a way to implement that?

Answer 1

• Here you'll find RSS-feeds with the holidays. It doesn't list year, but in the docs you'll find information how to change date ranges.
• Download it. I would suggest ASIHTTPRequest for that task.
  parse the RSS-feed. you can do so by normal XML-parsing, or you use a specialized parser. MWFeedParser would be one option.
• Save the dates. either by using CoreData, or Event Kit Framework
