EqRequiredInXMLDecl

XMl declation missing =

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.

General description of the error:

The format of the error message: The '' = '' character must follow \"{0}\" in the XML declaration.

Error description in schema standard: http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#NT-Eq

Possible causes for this error:

Attribute in XML declaration is not stated correctly and is missing character "="

Example

<?xml version:"1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Error message: The ' = ' character must follow "version:" in the XML declaration.

Meaning of error: Here the version attribute name and value are separated with character ":", but XML parsing is expecting character "=", hence the XML is not considered to be well-formed.

How to fix: Replacing character ":" with character "=".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
