Error() returns false for corrupted XML (when there is no starting tag)

[asmei1]

Hi,
Error() returns false for such simple case:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
</data>

There is no starting tag for top level one. Then, in such case:

    tinyxml2::XMLDocument document;
    document.Parse(xmlString.c_str()); 

document.RootElement(); returns nullptr.

This is the same when using a validator. The reason is your '/' is at the start of the tag name which means there is an expected opening tag which doesn't exist.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <data/>
That should work though
