      76

      The XML file is not well-formed.

      Notice! This page describes the nature of the error using a hypothetical example and not the erroneous data of the input test file. You should however be able to apply this information to your error case.

      Error description:

      The XML file is not well-formed. Tags are not correctly nested or tag is opened and closed with different tag-name, check for typing mistakes.

      Example 1:

      76.png

      Here the attribute Ccy of element <InstdAmt> is missing the closing quotation mark which is causing the parsing to fail. This can be fixed by adding the missing quotation mark.

      Example 2:

      For example this XML would produce the error.

      <company>
          <name>XMLDation.com
      </company>
          </name>

      In the example <name> element is a child element of <company> but the closing tag of </name> comes after the closing tag of </company>. Correct way to present this would be:

      <company>
          <name>XMLDation.com</name>
      </company>

       

       

      Explanation of the error message given by validator:

      Opening and ending tag mismatch: tag1 line 38 and tag2

      Where tag1 starting at line 38 and tag2 is the position where the error is noticed.
