Re: [xml] ignore undefined namespaces during parsing

So what you are saying is "there is no way to get the xml document serialized with namespaces if it is not namespace-well-formed " ?

 

Thanks

This is not namespace-well-formed. Not even well-formed.

If it was possible and you used that, you could also consider using Perl
and regular expressions to do the parsing. I mean it would be counter to
the specification.

You don't have a namespace there. If you want a namespace, make your
document namespace-well-formed:

<root xmlns:nmspace="urn:this-is-my-namespace-uri">
  <nmspace:test1 hh="yyy"/>
</root>

I suggest you ask Google how XML namespaces work. It is not too
complicated. Much, much less complicated then C pointers.
