I tried to save my xml file through textEditor.

But it prefix something before my xml data.

Answer 1

Are you editing your XML file with TextEdit or something? You've got a whole bunch of RTF data in there, which would seem to imply that you're overwriting your XML data with RTF'd XML. Try using a text editor like Property List Editor or TextWrangler instead.

Answer 2

Seems like you have written your XML file in a Rich Text Editor. It is saving the file in .rtf format, instead of raw text/xml. Maybe the editor you are using has the option to save as raw txt. That should solve it.

You could also create the file using XCode. It will surely use raw txt.
