Week 2 - Valid and Well-formed
Jennifer Kyrnin
From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML

This week we'll discuss the differences between valid XML and well-formed XML and how you can write XML that meets both requirements.

Don't forget, if you miss a lesson you can have it resent to you.

Syllabus
Week 2
  • What is Valid XML?
  • What Does it Mean for a Document to be Well-Formed?
  • Converting a Document to Well-Formed


Validity
What is Valid XML?

A valid XML document is any document that can be validated (correctly) against a DTD or XML Schema.


Well-Formed
What Does it Mean for a Document to be Well-Formed?

You can have a well formed XML document that is not valid, and a valid document that is not well formed. Basically, a well formed document is one that meets the minimum criteria for XML processors and validators to read the document.


Converting a Document to Well-Formed

Sometimes it's easier to understand how to write well-formed XML by seeing an example.
