The Most Important Slide
Always, ALWAYS, check the data first:
- parse the XML before doing anything with it
- if you can, refuse the XML if it is not valid
- if you cannot, write code to fix it, then validate it
It doesn't matter who generated the XML, another company, another department, your department, YOU ...
ONLY work on clean data
You WILL hate character encodings
