Error at XML validation

I am new to xml, so if someone could point me out to what is wrong here I would bevery glad.

I am basically trying to validate a xml document in the form

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<tag1>foo</tag1>
<tag2>bar</tag2>
<tree>
    <moreStuffBelow></moreStuffBelow>
    <!-- // -->
</tree>

and am getting these error messages from the W3C validator :

Errors found while checking this document as XML!
document type does not allow element "tag2" here
document type does not allow element "tree" here

Thank you

Solution

  • Each XML must have one single root element. In your case there isn't a root element.
