Using Jackson XML Mapper, unexpected close tag

Question

I'm reading in a malformed XML (out of my control), the file type is of OFX. I was hoping to use Jackson XML to deserialize. Here is a sample of the file

<OFX>
<SIGNONMSGSRSV1>
    <SONRS>
        <STATUS>
            <CODE>0
            <SEVERITY>INFO
            <MESSAGE>OK
        </STATUS>
        <DTSERVER>20220904084713[-5]
        <LANGUAGE>ENG
        <INTU.BID>00315
    </SONRS>
</SIGNONMSGSRSV1>
</OFX>

I'm using the XMLMapper like this:

XmlMapper xmlMapper = XmlMapper.builder()
            .enable(MapperFeature.ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES)
            .configure(SerializationFeature.FAIL_ON_EMPTY_BEANS, false)
            .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false)
            .configure(DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_SINGLE_VALUE_AS_ARRAY, true)
            .configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_MISSING_CREATOR_PROPERTIES, false)
            .build();

I was hoping there was a way to still parse this poorly formatted XML and ignore the missing closing tags, or do I need to create a way to read the Status Object differently?

I'm not sure how will the parser's logic will understand where it has to stop reading the node data, i.e. this is not possible. — Ashutosh Vaish, Sep 05 '22 at 13:49
Maybe look to use a library that knows how to parse OFX instead of using general XML tools for data that is not XML https://github.com/ftomassetti/ofx-java — Mads Hansen, Sep 05 '22 at 14:35
Why would you expect XML tools to be able to handle non-XML input? — Michael Kay, Sep 05 '22 at 22:34
