Question

I have a XML document:

<event>
    <type>SUBSCRIPTION_ORDER</type>
    <marketplace>
        <baseUrl>https://www.acme-marketplace.com</baseUrl>
        <partner>ACME</partner></marketplace>
    </marketplace>
    <creator>
        <email>admin@fakeco</email>
        <firstName>Alice</firstName>
        <lastName>Hacker</lastName>
        <openId>https://www.acme-marketplace.com/openid/id/a11a7918-bb43-4429-a256-f6d729c71033</openId>
        <uuid>a11a7918-bb43-4429-a256-f6d729c71033</uuid>
    </creator>
    <payload>
        <company>
            <uuid>d15bb36e-5fb5-11e0-8c3c-00262d2cda03</uuid>
            <email>admin@fakeco</email>
            <name>Fake Co.</name>
            <phoneNumber>1-415-555-1212</phoneNumber>
            <website>fakeco</website>
        </company>
        <order>
            <editionCode>BASIC</editionCode>
            <item>
                <quantity>10</quantity>
                <unit>USER</unit>
            </item>
        </order>
    </payload>
</event>

and I got strange result when I load it with nokogiri:

1.9.3p194 :056 > doc = Nokogiri::XML(File.open("test.xml")).to_s
=> "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<event>\n    <type>SUBSCRIPTION_ORDER</type>\n    <marketplace>\n        <baseUrl>https://www.acme-marketplace.com</baseUrl>\n        <partner>ACME</partner></marketplace>\n    </event>\n"

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You’ve got two closing </marketplace> tags, which is invalid XML:

    <partner>ACME</partner></marketplace>
</marketplace>

Remove one of them and Nokogiri should read the file fine.
