I have updated this post with more better, and hopefully easier to understand code. I am still receiving the same error message above.

Your XML is not well-formed because it has multiple root elements. An XML document may only have a single root element.

Your options to repair this problem:

  1. Remove all Team elements after the first one, or
  2. Wrap all Team elements in a single root element such as Teams.

Option #1 would be sufficient alone; option #2 would require the addition of the Teams wrapper element to your XSD.

  • sorry, i am new to this site and xml and pasted my code wrong. each Team is wrapped in a root element called Players. there are ten teams that fall under the root of players. does that makes sense? – ghostgif Oct 06 '21 at 04:24
  • No, not really, and wrapping the multiple `Team` elements with a `Players` element also contradicts your XSD as well. The natural wrapper for `Team` elements would be a `Teams`, not a `Players`, wrapper element. – kjhughes Oct 06 '21 at 04:28
  • I have changed Players to Teams so that it makes sense. The root Teams contains 10 elements named Team. Each Team element contains 5 Player elements. Each Player elements contains 6 elements for stats (stats). My apologies for this code being confusing/frustrating. – ghostgif Oct 06 '21 at 04:36
  • If your problem is solved, great. If not, I suggest that you update your question with your latest version of your XML, XSD, and error message if you require further help. – kjhughes Oct 06 '21 at 04:39

Your schema says that a Teams element contains a sequence of Player elements. But in your XML instance, the Teams element contains a sequence of Team elements. So it's expecting to find a Player element, but it finds a Team element, which is why it complains saying

Invalid content was found starting with element 'Team'. One of '{"":Player}' is expected.

Note that the notation {"":Player} means a Player element in no namespace. The reason it explains it this way is that this error is often caused by use of an incorrect namespace (but not in your case).
