XML: Well-formedness and error-handling

Techanuva — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:37:58 +0000

The XML specification defines an XML document as a text which is wellFormed, i.e. it satisfies a list of syntax rules provided in the specification. The list is fairly lengthy; some key points are:

It contains only properly encoded legal Unicode characters.
None of the special syntax characters such as “<” and “&” appear except when performing their markup-delineation roles.
The begin, end, and empty-element tags which delimit the elements are correctly nested, with none missing and none overlapping.
The element tags are case-sensitive; the beginning and end tags must match exactly.
There is a single “root” element which contains all the other elements.

The definition of an XML document excludes texts which contain violations of well-formedness rules; they are simply not XML.

An XML processor which encounters such a violation is required to report such errors and to cease normal processing.

One of the most tragic things about our nature is that all of us tend to put off living.

We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.

Life Is A Bright Sky

Life is like a bright sky;
and clouds represent instances of unhappy times.

Sometimes the clouds are so dark;
It’s hard to remember the sun still shines.

Be patient. The light will return.
It’s just waiting for an opportunity to peek through.
