  xml file => how to know if a tag is well closed ?

  Jul 12, 2018 02:15 PM|jimmy69|LINK

  Hello all,

  Imagine this scenario, i have some mobile app on android.

  this app, create xml file with some information and see to a ftp.

  Sometimes and i don't know actually why we receive some xml who some tag <tag> are not closed ...

  I would like to know how i can detect in a xml file the node who is not closed and close it of course ?

  Here is it the structure of the xml file

  <parent>
     <chid1>
       <datas1></datas1>
       <datas2></datas2>
     </child1>
     <child2>
       <datas1></datas1>
       <datas2></datas2>
     </child2>
  </parent>

  thanks for all 

  Thanks for your time and your knowledge that's great to find any help here ..

  XML schemas (XSD) are used to validate XML documents,

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/data/xml/xml-schema-xsd-validation-with-xmlschemaset

  Hi Jimmy69,

  According to your description, I think we could use XML Schema Definition Language to validate XML.

  Here is official document about how to customize the validation XML document

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/concepts/linq/how-to-validate-using-xsd-linq-to-xml

  Here is a XMLValidation sample.

  http://xmlvalidation.com/example/

  For some custom grammar rule validation, I think you could view the relevant documents below.

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.xml.schema.extensions.validate?view=netframework-4.7.2

  Best Regards

  Abraham

  Hello all,

  thanks for your ideas, link that's great to share your knowledge ...

  for me the best solutino (fast) it's to get all the xml file in ftp with a cmd project who runs every night and check the validay of these files ...

  if ok => do nothing / if not ok => open xml and find the bad node and TRY to close the node ...

  because, find the error, make the correction, test the app on device, and deploy will take more time ...

  Off course, the bug will be find and a correction also but i'm holiday ...in a few day :) :)

  see your next time guys
