No its a bug in your feed. CDATA is "not parsed" in the sense that characters that otherwise would be recognized as mark-up are ignored - it's not a carte blanche to add binary junk/"illegal characters" to XML.
Try passing something like this instead (wrapped in an InputSource) to the SAXParser#parse method. class StripReader extends Reader { private final Reader mReader; public StripReader(Reader reader) { mReader = reader; } @Override public boolean markSupported() { return false; } @Override public void close() throws IOException { mReader.close(); } @Override public int read(char[] cbuf, int off, int len) throws IOException { int n = 0; int ch = 0; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { ch = read(); if (ch != -1) { cbuf[off + n++] = (char) ch; } } return (n == 0 && ch == -1) ? -1 : n; } @Override public int read() throws IOException { int ch; do { ch = mReader.read(); } while (ch != -1 && !validChar(ch)); return ch; } private boolean validChar(int ch) { // Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] /* any Unicode character, excluding the surrogate blocks, FFFE, and FFFF. */ return ch == 0x9 || ch == 0xA || ch == 0xD || (ch >= 0x20 && ch <= 0xD7FF) || (ch>=0x10000 && ch <=0x10FFFF); } } On 15 Apr, 22:54, Phil Bayfield <p...@bayfmail.com> wrote: > I'm having an issue with SAXParser on an RSS feed from a vBuletin forum. > > The parser throws SAXException - At line 212, column 26: not well-formed > (invalid token) when it encounters a right apostrophe character > -http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2019/index.htm > > I realise this is a unicode character and the feed is ISO-8859-1, however > the character falls in a CDATA block, which the parser is supposed to > ignore. > > Anyone encountered this before and know a work around?
