well-formed

What is the fastest way to programatically check the well-formedness of XML files in C#?

I have large batches of XHTML files that are manually updated. During the review phase of the updates i would like to programmatically check the well-formedness of the files.

What is an XML infoset and in what ways is it different to an XML document?

I've tried to read http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-infoset/ and the wikipedia entry. But frankly I'm still not sure what the difference is. The quote : An XML document has an information set if it is well-formed and satisfies the namespace constraints. There is no requirement for an XML document to be valid in order to have an info...

XML: what processing rules apply for values intertwined with tags?

I've started working on a simple XML pull-parser, and as I've just defuzzed my mind on what's correct syntax in XML with regards to certain characters/sequences, ignorable whitespace and such (thank you, http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_elements.asp), I realized that I still don't know squat about what can be sketched up as the following...

Check well-formed XML without a try/catch?

Does anyone know how I can check if a string contains well-formed XML without using something like XmlDocument.LoadXml() in a try/catch block?

Validating against a Schema with JAXB

I've been looking for solutions to this problem for far too long considering how easy it sounds so I've come for some help. I have an XML Schema which I have used with xjc to create my JAXB binding.

HTML5 and well-formedness

Hi, I'm looking into HTML5 and I'm puzzled why it goes so easy on well-formedness. <div id="main"> <DIV ID="main"> <DIV id=main> are all valid and produce the same result. I thought with XHTML we moved to XML compliant code at no cost (I don't count closing tags as a cost!). Now the HTML5 spec looks to be written by lazy coders ...
