In XML document The error will stop your XML program.
The W3C XML specification states that if an error is found, the program should not continue processing the XML document. The reason is that XML software should be easy to write and all XML documents should be compatible.
With HTML it is possible to create documents with "errors" (such as missing closing tags). One of the main reasons why HTML browsers are so huge and incompatible is that they all have their own way of figuring out what the document should look like when encountering an HTML error.
With XML, this shouldn't be possible.
