Re^4: Best XML library to validate XML from untrusted source

Say, because it doesn't do anything? I mean, yes, it does some kind of basic format validation, but once you actually need to extract some data out of the file, things start getting complicated very quickly.

Nothing? What are you talking about? It validates the file as the OP requested. ...Actually, that's now what he requested. He requested `use XML::LibXML::Reader qw( XML_READER_TYPE_ENTITY_REFERENCE ); my $reader = XML::LibXML::Reader->new( location => $file_or_url, load_ext_dtd => 0, expand_entities => 0, ); while ($reader->read) { die if $reader->nodeType == XML_READER_TYPE_ENTITY_REFERENCE; }` [download] What exactly is the problem???

use XML::LibXML::Reader qw( XML_READER_TYPE_ENTITY_REFERENCE );

my $reader = XML::LibXML::Reader->new(
   location        => $file_or_url,

   expand_entities => 0,
);

while ($reader->read) {
   die if $reader->nodeType == XML_READER_TYPE_ENTITY_REFERENCE;
