NPE on validate() about fast-xml-parser HOT 8 CLOSED

let me check

from fast-xml-parser.

What if I close submission tag in above sample XML and then validate?

from fast-xml-parser.

closing as no update. Please reopen if you fell there is any issue.

So perhaps I misunderstand what validate() is meant to do, then. In your sample code it seems to return a boolean indicating if the XML is valid. If it crashes on invalid XML does that mean I also have to try/catch it?

from fast-xml-parser.

It should return return false only. if it is throwing error there may be some case to cover.

Right, so that's exactly what's happening. I simplified the case:

> fxp.validate('<a><b/>');
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
