A Closer Look at Creating XML Documents
The XML 1.0 specification lays out two types of XML document, either well-formed or valid. The distinction between the two is simple:
- Well-formed documents comply with the rules of XML syntax. For example, all elements must have a corresponding end tag, or else have a closing slash in the empty elements; every document must have a unique opening and closing tag, etc.
- Valid documents are not only well-formed, they also comply with a DTD.
