Error Parsing XML: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.“,”id”:”

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The error message "Error Parsing XML: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup" usually indicates that the XML content you are trying to parse is not well-formed. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as unescaped characters, incorrect tag formation, or presence of invalid XML characters. From the conversations, it seems that one common issue is not properly escaping URLs in your string. For example, if you have an entity reference like

&c

, it should be properly ended with a semicolon like

&c;

. Another issue could be incorrect tag formation. For instance, in the second conversation, the user had a tag like

<date><2020-05-15</date>

which is not well-formed. The correct formation should be

<date>2020-05-15</date>

. Lastly, the XML content might contain invalid XML characters. In the third conversation, the user was able to resolve the issue by cleaning the XML content using the following code:

javascript
var xmlString = "Your XML content with invalid characters";

// Replace invalid characters with an empty string
xmlString = xmlString.replace(/[\x00-\x08\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F\x7F]/g, '');

This code uses a regular expression to match and replace all control characters (ASCII 0-8, 11, 12, 14-31, and 127) with an empty string, thus cleaning the XML content. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
