Parse cXML file

Question

As a response I am getting the below cXML, and its not getting parse if I am using XSLT.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML  SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.046/cXML.dtd">
<cXML payloadID="AF7rzg4Yg6dfzOW5Mfp6PFIAz66C"
      timestamp="2020-06-18T20:26:55+00:00"
      version="1.2.046">
  <Response>
    <Status code="201" text="Acknowledged">Acknowledged</Status>
  </Response>
</cXML>

I am getting below error, can you suggest me how we can parse these kind of files.

Unable to generate the XML document using the provided XML/XSL input. org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.046/cXML.dtd; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed.

My requirement is to get a output XML like

<RESULT>
    <Status>Acknowledged</Status>
</RESULT>

can you let me know the XSLT for that.

Thanks Yatan

If your input document is literally what you have shown above, you'll need to remove all the whitespace before the xml declaration. The can be nothing before the declaration.

The XML has no whitespaces, I have edited my xml to avoid confusion. – Yatan Jun 19 '20 at 16:22
Not sure what your problem is then - SAX is saying that your first character is invalid. If I copy that XML into a parser it's both well-formed and valid. – Nic Gibson Jun 19 '20 at 17:51
When I try to use XSLT to parse this XML I am getting error. my requirement is to get the output xml like Acknowledged – Yatan Jun 26 '20 at 19:32

I was unable to parse this via XSLT, finally used the below expression before using the XSLT to remove it from XML.

convertedData = body.replaceAll("<!DOCTYPE((.|\n|\r)*?)\">", "");

This isn't really a solution. If that works it suggests that you might now have your SAX parser configured correctly as it's not loading the DTD at a guess. – Nic Gibson Jun 29 '20 at 16:41
