I got the error, i'm no a xml expert but it seems than the answser does not
look like a pure xml. i also tried with lxml instead of xml library but the
result is te same
xml lib
ERROR << not well-formed (invalid token): line 5, column 77
lxml
ERROR << expected '>', line 5, column 37
could you help me to correctly parse the answer please?
regards,
Miguel
You don't show the whole error, but I'd guess the error is being
triggered in the line: tree = ET.fromstring(answer)
None of these libraries help when fed ill-formed xml.
The line:
<giftPkgReturn> xsi:type="xsd:string">0</giftPkgReturn">
is just bogus. I believe that line would be valid if you remove the
first ">" symbol in the line. But that's just my mental parser working,
and I didn't try to feed it to a real xml library. Note the next line
has the same problem, and there could well be other problems in there.
The fix? Get the author of the "the answer" to generate it correctly.
