converting id into nsstring
<p>i am using NSPropertyListSerialization  for converting nsdictionary to xml and the code is as follows </p>

<pre><code>NSMutableDictionary *rootObj = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithCapacity:2];
    NSDictionary *innerDict;
    NSString *name;
    NSDate *dob;
    NSArray *scores;

    scores = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:6],
              [NSNumber numberWithFloat:4.6], [NSNumber numberWithLong:6.0000034], nil];
    name = @"George Washington";
    dob = [NSDate dateWithString:@"1732-02-17 04:32:00 +0300"];
    innerDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:
                 [NSArray arrayWithObjects: name, dob, scores, nil]
                                            forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Name", @"DOB", @"Scores"]];
    [rootObj setObject:innerDict forKey:@"Washington"];

    scores = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:8],
              [NSNumber numberWithFloat:4.9],
              [NSNumber numberWithLong:9.003433], nil];
    name = @"Abraham Lincoln";
    dob = [NSDate dateWithString:@"1809-02-12 13:18:00 +0400"];
    innerDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:
                 [NSArray arrayWithObjects: name, dob, scores, nil]
                                            forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Name", @"DOB", @"Scores"]];
    [rootObj setObject:innerDict forKey:@"Lincoln"];


    NSLog(@"the dictionary is :%@",rootObj);


    id plist = [NSPropertyListSerialization dataFromPropertyList:(id)rootObj
                                                          format:NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0 errorDescription:nil];

NSLog(@ "the xml file is :%@",plist);
</code></pre>

<p>and the out put in console is as follows......</p>

<pre><code>XmltoNSDictionary[2478:207] the dictionary is :{
    Lincoln =     {
        DOB = "1809-02-12 09:18:00 +0000";
        Name = "Abraham Lincoln";
        Scores =         (
            8,
            "4.9",
            9
        );
    };
    Washington =     {
        DOB = "1732-02-17 01:32:00 +0000";
        Name = "George Washington";
        Scores =         (
            6,
            "4.6",
            6
        );
    };
}
