I have written a xml parser which successfully parses a xml file which is given as input.But sometime the input file that is given to may parser has double quote in a text property because of which my parser crashes.
Eg
<tag myprop=" this has a extra quote here like " some times" > </tag>
I know the tag that may /may not have the extra quote.I use a dom parser.
How can i handle this situation?
You won’t be able to use an XML parser until you have actual XML. What you currently have is invalid (ie not XML). You should escape the quote-mark inside the attribute beforehand.
The escaped code would look like:
As to why your parser crashes, well there are dozens of XML libraries in existence – have you looked at any of those? I would personally expect to receive a ParseException or something like that.
