Hello everyone,

I'm trying to parse XML files with this kind of code :

   parse-xml:parse("<from1>Jani</from1><from2>Jani</from2><from3>Jani</from3>" ,
      <opt:options>
        <opt:base-uri opt:value="urn:test"/>
        <opt:parse-external-parsed-entity/>
      </opt:options>

But when the XML file contains at the top a <!DOCTYPE> part, I get an
internal error :
dynamic error [err:FODC0006]: in valid content passed to
parse-xml:parse(): loader parsing error: internal error

How to ignore this <!DOCTYPE> part when parsing ?

Thanks for your help,

Johann

Hello Johann,

Thanks for raising this issue.
At the moment xml:parse() only accepts XML external entities as an input.
We're currently looking at a resolution for this bug.

Is there a workaround you can use in the meantime?

Kind regards,

William

While the error you receive is not very useful -- and we'll improve it
-- the reason you are getting it is that the option <opt:parse-
external-parsed-entity/> requries the input to be a well-formed
external parsed entity, and that does not allow for DOCTYPE
declarations.

But I agree that skipping such declarations would be useful and we
will add an option to do exactly that. In the mean time you can either
omit the <opt:parse-external-parsed-entity/> option or alternatively
remove the first line of the input, for example with the help of the
read-text() function from the File module (see the documentation here:
http://www.zorba-xquery.com/html/modules/expath/file#read-text-1 ).
