XML Errors will Stop you
Errors in XML documents will stop your XML program.
The W3C XML specification states that a program should not
continue to process an XML document if it finds an error. The
reason is that XML software should be easy to write, and that
all XML documents should be compatible.
With HTML it was possible to create documents with lots of
errors (like when you forget an end tag). One of the main
reasons that HTML browsers are so big and incompatible, is that
they have their own ways to figure out what a document should
look like when they encounter an HTML error.
With XML this should not be possible.
Validate your XML
To help you validate your xml, we have used Microsoft's XML
parser to create an XML validator.
Paste your XML in the text area below, and syntax-check it by
pressing the "Validate" button.
Validate your XML File
You can also validate your XML files by typing the URL of
your file into the input field below, and then press the
"Validate" button
If you want to syntax-check (validate) an error-free XML
file, you can paste the following address into the filename
field: http://www.codedcode.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml
Note: If you get the error "Access denied" when
accessing this file, it is because your Internet Explorer
security settings do not allow access across domains! |
