Get XML file with JQuery?

Question

I save following XML code as XML file.

<Z>
  <F>{"attributes":{"type":"form"}}</F>
  <M><%@ taglib prefix="zf" uri="http://www.zcore.org/tags/form" %></M>
</Z>

now when I want to load with JQuery I get this error :

Timestamp: 5/5/2013 7:05:13 PM Error: not well-formed

and this for the <%@ ... %> syntax that I put in the XML file.

How can I read this file as XML file without error?

Thanks to All.

Answer 1

You need to wrap your values in CDATA blocks so that the XML parser ignores the inner text. See below:

<Z>
  <F><![CDATA[{"attributes":{"type":"form"}}]]></F>
  <M><![CDATA[<%@ taglib prefix="zf" uri="http://www.zcore.org/tags/form" %>]]></M>
</Z>

Answer 2

Correct your XML to be well formed. Check it using an online validator http://www.xmlvalidation.com/. It says:

The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup

in other words you have to encode the <%@ ... > value as < and >
