For an XML file I am creating I have data that contains a bullet • what is the best method for handling this in xml data? It opens in an XML editor and reads fine, but I cannot import the file via SSIS, I get an error regarding this point.
<xmldata>• Bullet</xmldata>
Renders fine, but cannot import with SSIS.
XML files are encoded in plaintext, so you can open them in any text editor and be able to clearly read it. Right-click the XML file and select "Open With." This will display a list of programs to open the file in. Select "Notepad" (Windows) or "TextEdit" (Mac).
What is XML? The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. It was derived from an older standard format called SGML (ISO 8879), in order to be more suitable for Web use.
