Re: Good way to identify malformed XML?

Super simple.

We do it in Python.

All you have to do is open an .xml file and if it is invalid xml you get an error which you can trap and send back to CL or do something else.

In our case we are picking up thousands of .xml files so we pick up a batch, check each file, move bad .xml files to a "hold" folder, send a text message and continue on.

I have services that receive XML files (1-2K / day). I'm looking for a
quick and easy way to identify malformed XML. None of the XML supplies
schema info and they have a variety of data layouts. I'm just looking for
a way to identify the malformed XML files.
