We develop an exponential spline interpolation method to solve the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The truncation error and stability analysis of the method are investigated and the method is shown to be unconditionally stable. The conservation quantities are computed to determine the conservation properties of the problem. We will describe the method and present numerical tests by two problems. The numerical simulations results demonstrate the well performance of the proposed method.
