An XML document that conforms to the grammar is called a well-structured XML document.
An XML document that passes DTD validation is called a valid XML document.

"Well-structured" XML document
A well-structured XML document should use correct syntax.
A well-structured XML document should comply with XML syntax rules. The example given in the previous chapter is a well-structured XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<note> 
<to>Tove</to> 
<from>Jani</from> 
<heading>Reminder</heading> 
<body>Don&#39;t forget me this weekend!</body> 
</note>

"Valid" XML document
A valid XML document should comply with the description of the DTD.
A valid XML document is also a well-structured XML document and must also comply with the rules of the DTD.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<!DOCTYPE note SYSTEM "InternalNote.dtd"> 
<note> 
<to>Tove</to> 
<from>Jani</from> 
<heading>Reminder</heading> 
<body>Don&#39;t forget me this weekend!</body> 
</note>

XML DTD
DTD defines the legal elements available in XML documents.
The purpose of DTD is to define the legal building blocks of XML documents. He determines the internal structure of the XML document by defining a series of legal elements. A well-structured XML document is not necessarily a valid XML document, but a valid XML document must be a well-structured XML document. If you want to learn more about DTD, you can refer to the DTD Guide.

XML Schema
XML Schema (XML Schema) is a replacement for XML-based DTD.
W3C makes DTD and Schema interchangeable. Readers can learn more in the Schema Guide.

Error
An error that occurs in the XML document will cause the XML program to stop.
The W3C XML specification states: If a program finds a valid error in processing an XML document, then the program SHOULD terminate. This is why XML software is relatively easy to write. All XML documents should be consistent.
In HTML, HTML files may contain many errors (for example, an element has a start tag but no end tag). This is also one of the reasons why HTML browsers are so large. When they find errors, they have different method to determine how this HTML file should be displayed.
This never happens in XML.

Beyond Basics: Advanced RSS Features Enabled by XMLMay 07, 2025 am 12:12 AM

RSS enables multimedia content embedding, conditional subscription, and performance and security optimization. 1) Embed multimedia content such as audio and video through tags. 2) Use XML namespace to implement conditional subscriptions, allowing subscribers to filter content based on specific conditions. 3) Optimize the performance and security of RSSFeed through CDATA section and XMLSchema to ensure stability and compliance with standards.

Decoding RSS: An XML Primer for Web DevelopersMay 06, 2025 am 12:05 AM

RSS is an XML-based format used to publish frequently updated data. As a web developer, understanding RSS can improve content aggregation and automation update capabilities. By learning RSS structure, parsing and generation methods, you will be able to handle RSSfeeds confidently and optimize your web development skills.

JSON vs. XML: Why RSS Chose XMLMay 05, 2025 am 12:01 AM

RSS chose XML instead of JSON because: 1) XML's structure and verification capabilities are better than JSON, which is suitable for the needs of RSS complex data structures; 2) XML was supported extensively at that time; 3) Early versions of RSS were based on XML and have become a standard.

RSS: The XML-Based Format ExplainedMay 04, 2025 am 12:05 AM

RSS is an XML-based format used to subscribe and read frequently updated content. Its working principle includes two parts: generation and consumption, and using an RSS reader can efficiently obtain information.

Inside the RSS Document: Essential XML Tags and AttributesMay 03, 2025 am 12:12 AM

The core structure of RSS documents includes XML tags and attributes. The specific parsing and generation steps are as follows: 1. Read XML files, process and tags. 2. Extract,,, etc. tag information. 3. Handle custom tags and attributes to ensure version compatibility. 4. Use cache and asynchronous processing to optimize performance to ensure code readability.

JSON, XML, and Data Formats: Comparing RSSMay 02, 2025 am 12:20 AM

The main differences between JSON, XML and RSS are structure and uses: 1. JSON is suitable for simple data exchange, with a simple structure and easy to parse; 2. XML is suitable for complex data structures, with a rigorous structure but complex parsing; 3. RSS is based on XML and is used for content release, standardized but limited use.

Troubleshooting XML/RSS Feeds: Common Pitfalls and Expert SolutionsMay 01, 2025 am 12:07 AM

The processing of XML/RSS feeds involves parsing and optimization, and common problems include format errors, encoding issues, and missing elements. Solutions include: 1. Use XML verification tools to check for format errors; 2. Ensure encoding consistency and use the chardet library to detect encoding; 3. Use default values or skip the element when missing elements; 4. Use efficient parsers such as lxml and cache parsing results to optimize performance; 5. Pay attention to data consistency and security to prevent XML injection attacks.

Decoding RSS Documents: Reading and Interpreting FeedsApr 30, 2025 am 12:02 AM

The steps to parse RSS documents include: 1. Read the XML file, 2. Use DOM or SAX to parse XML, 3. Extract headings, links and other information, and 4. Process data. RSS documents are XML-based formats used to publish updated content, structures containing, and elements, suitable for building RSS readers or data processing tools.
