RE: DOMParser does not report errors for XML that are not well-fo rmed

[Dean Roddey <dr...@portal.com>]

It does not throw an exception, it calls the error handler.

Peter,
You could also try this out with the MemParse sample code that comes along
with the package. If you modify the
string in gXMLInMemBuf variable in MemParse.cpp from a well-formed XML
string to a not well-formed one and try running the sample code, you will
see the behavior that I am seeing. That is, it does not throw an
XMLException ..... is this expected?
