I'm just starting with xml and tried to follow a tutorial. I managed to write my own xml-document, but always get this error in line 7 when I try to validate the file: "The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed." I tried a lot of different solutions, but nothing worked. Here's the document:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <list>
        <user>
            <name>Peter</name>
            <score>7</score>
        </user> 
        <user> 
            <name>John</name>
            <score>10</score>
        </user>
    </list>

Sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker and thanks for any help.

  • How do you try to validate it? What program or tool gives this message? – Sami Kuhmonen Dec 23 '18 at 00:19
  • @SamiKuhmonen I use Eclipse as an IDE and try to read and write an xml-file from a java-file. It gives me the message in line 7. – jolo Kp Dec 23 '18 at 00:21
  • Your English is excellent, and your XML as posted is actually well-formed. See duplicate link for possible explanations and ways to fix the error, *The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed*. – kjhughes Dec 23 '18 at 01:59
