There is a link to XML: http://www.guru.com/rss/jobs/ When try to parse a XML with encoding/xml
, get error:
XML syntax error on line 1: invalid XML name: t
I know, this XML is broken, but how I can ignore this, and parse the first items?
Last Item of XML looks like this:
<item>
<title>Online Ad Posting Data Entry Jobs</t
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

Code example:
type Rss2 struct {
ItemList []Item `xml:"channel>item"`
}
type Item struct {
Title string `xml:"title"`
Link string `xml:"link"`
Description string `xml:"description"`
PubDate string `xml:"pubDate"`
GUID string `xml:"guid"`
}
r := Rss2{}
reader := bytes.NewReader(xmlRead)
decoder := xml.NewDecoder(reader)
decoder.CharsetReader = charset.NewReaderLabel
decoder.Strict = false
err = decoder.Decode(&r)
if err != nil { fmt.Printf(err.Error()) }
XML tags should be properly opened and closed. From the XML that you have posted, it seems like XML Declaration is not in the beginning.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
This should be at the beginning. Hope this helps
XML given in question seems to be wrong,
Here is correct version of XML file and Go code
XML File :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

Sample Go Code
package main
import (
"io/ioutil"
"encoding/xml"
"fmt"
)
type Rss2 struct {
ItemList []Item `xml:"channel>item"`
}
type Item struct {
Title string `xml:"title"`
Link string `xml:"link"`
Description string `xml:"description"`
PubDate string `xml:"pubDate"`
GUID string `xml:"guid"`
}
func main() {
r := Rss2{}
xmlContent, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("example2.xml")
if err := xml.Unmarshal(xmlContent, &r); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("RSS item :", r)
}
Now, you can iterate and find you required data in XML.
