Re: SAX XML Parsing Error code 6

You can google for "XML entities" - there are 5 - quot, amp, apos, lt, and gt - they are rendered in a document in the format &name;

These characters all have special meaning in XML, so they cannot be on their own in a string, then need either to be rendered using the entity or in Unicode code point - for example, quot is U+0022, so you put &# before 0022 and ; after it - see one of the articles in that google search for more information.

Hi All,

Could you please help me on this ?

I am getting parsing error ' The parser found an invalid character in
element content. ' when i am trying to parse below Tag and when i manually
remove *& *it is working fine. *& *and* < *are valid right ? i
believe having only & is the problem.

<packslipMessage>*Character@ .°¢⠢&amp;èé⠬-á&lt; "'Test*
</packslipMessage>

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

it would be great if someone tell me that what are special characters are
illegal so that i can tell my host system not to send those characters.
