enum class ConformanceLevel

Values

NameValueDescription
Auto0The XmlReader or XmlWriter object automatically detects whether document-level or fragment-level checking should be performed, and does the appropriate checking. If you’re wrapping another XmlReader or XmlWriter object, the outer object doesn’t do any additional conformance checking. Conformance checking is left up to the underlying object.
Fragment1The XML data is a well-formed XML fragment, as defined by the W3C. This conformance level represents an XML document that might not have a root element but is otherwise well-formed. This level of checking ensures that the stream being read or written can be consumed by any processor as an XML 1.0 external parsed entity.
Document2The XML data complies with the rules for a well-formed XML 1.0 document, as defined by the W3C. This level of checking ensures that the stream being read or written can be consumed by any processor as an XML 1.0 document.
