What are the invalid characters in XML??

Puran Kaushal · Answer

Hi The characters & and  XML as what are called open markup delimiters -- that is they are the characters recognized by XML processors as indicating that what follows is markup not data. Hence they can't be used as plain characters. XML provides for character references which you can use to work around this. For  If you'd like to read a rationale and deeper explanation for all this take a look at http://xmlshoestring.com/xml101/wfrules . Regards Puran
