Posted on by BlackBeard 445

Hello Experts,

i try to read data from XML File but i always get an Error: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

The Error must be there:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
doc.PreserveWhitespace = false;
XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement;


Can someone help me? 

Kind Regards
Léon

    Hi Leon ,

    There may be conversion issue with UTF8. Please try with this 

    string _byteOrderMarkUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetPreamble());
if (xml.StartsWith(_byteOrderMarkUtf8))
{
    xml = xml.Remove(0, _byteOrderMarkUtf8.Length);
}

    The problem is that my XML Data looks very strange from the format.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
					<lead>
					    <sender>
					        <firstname>Marcus</firstname>
					        <lastname>Muster</lastname>
					        <company>Test GmbH</company>


    So is there a way to format this in the right way?

    Hi leon,

    Please check if you xml files contains some data.This error generally occurs when xml file is empty or does not have specific format of data
