下面是另一种使用Cinchoo ETL的方法，它是一个开源库，可以用很少的代码行解析xml文件。

using (var r = ChoXmlReader<Item>.LoadText(xml)
       .WithXPath("//item")
      )
{
    foreach (var rec in r)
        rec.Print();
}

public class Item
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string ProtectionLevel { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
}

Linq到XML。

同时,VB。NET通过编译器提供了比c#更好的xml解析支持。如果你有这个选择和愿望，那就去看看吧。

你可以:

使用XmlSerializer类 使用XmlDocument类

示例在msdn页面上提供

XmlDocument从字符串或文件中读取XML。

using System.Xml;

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("c:\\temp.xml");

or

doc.LoadXml("<xml>something</xml>");

然后在它下面找到一个节点，就像这样

XmlNode node = doc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("/book/title");

or

foreach(XmlNode node in doc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes){
   string text = node.InnerText; //or loop through its children as well
}

然后像这样读取节点内的文本

string text = node.InnerText;

或者读取属性

string attr = node.Attributes["theattributename"]?.InnerText

总是检查Attributes["something"]是否为空，因为如果属性不存在，它将为空。

有很多方法，一些:

XmlSerializer。使用带有目标模式的类 如果您想读取，请使用XmlSerializer 将Xml中的数据加载到 类的实例。 linq2xml XmlTextReader。 XmlDocument XPathDocument(只读访问)

There are different ways, depending on where you want to get. XmlDocument is lighter than XDocument, but if you wish to verify minimalistically that a string contains XML, then regular expression is possibly the fastest and lightest choice you can make. For example, I have implemented Smoke Tests with SpecFlow for my API and I wish to test if one of the results in any valid XML - then I would use a regular expression. But if I need to extract values from this XML, then I would parse it with XDocument to do it faster and with less code. Or I would use XmlDocument if I have to work with a big XML (and sometimes I work with XML's that are around 1M lines, even more); then I could even read it line by line. Why? Try opening more than 800MB in private bytes in Visual Studio; even on production you should not have objects bigger than 2GB. You can with a twerk, but you should not. If you would have to parse a document, which contains A LOT of lines, then this documents would probably be CSV.

我写这条评论，是因为我看到了大量使用XDocument的示例。XDocument不适用于大型文档，或者当您只想验证内容是否为XML有效时。如果希望检查XML本身是否有意义，那么需要Schema。

我对建议的答案也投了反对票，因为我相信它本身就需要上述信息。假设我需要验证200M的XML是否有效，每小时10次。XDocument会浪费大量的资源。

prasanna venkatesh还指出，您可以尝试将字符串填充到数据集，它也将指示有效的XML。
