In the original code you showed, you were passing an NSMutableString
object to initWithData:options:error:. If you want to use
initWithData:options:error: you need to convert your string to a data
object:

xml_data = s.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)

Or, if the source data is coming from some other source, you might be
able to create an NSData object directly.
