Introduction
An XML Parser Error is a runtime exception that is thrown when the XML parser encounters an error while parsing an XML document.
These errors can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Invalid XML syntax
- Missing or invalid attributes
- Unclosed tags
- Invalid character data
Causes
Common causes of XML Parser Errors include:
- Invalid XML Structure: Incorrectly nested tags or invalid XML syntax.
- Character Encoding Issues: The XML document uses a different character encoding than the default encoding.
- Malformed XML: The XML document contains elements that are not valid XML elements.
Example Code
Here's an example C# code snippet that demonstrates how to handle XML Parser Errors:
try
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("invalid.xml");
}
catch (XmlParserException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("XML Parsing Error: " + ex.Message);
}
