Hi
I am trying to learn how to load an XML (XML source) into SSIS 2010 , the data will then go to an SQL Server 2012 Table.

The issue I am having, Is I am trying to follow a tutorial, and I am getting the same error:

The XML Source was unable to read the XML data. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

This when downloading any of the tables - the one I have chosen is region.

The trail site is http://api.worldbank.org/countries

I have tried changing the top line



with no success. Please help

Here is the beginning of the script script - this is in an XSD file


<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="countries">
<xs:complextype>
<xs:sequence>

What I have tried:

So go back to the "trail site" and ask there: they wrote the software, they made the tutorial, they provided the XML (I assume).

They know their product: we don't. So the place to ask is the place you found it!
And if they don't reply, or can't fix it ... at least you know just how useful their tutorials actually are ...

So cut down a copy of the XML file to the minimum, and if that still fails then manually compare it with a known working one.

It's either the code (likely) or the XML itself (less likely if it's the header) so find out which!
