Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Losing attribute values

Solution: Standard text extraction ignores attributes: <item id="5">A</item> → "A", not "5 A". Attributes are discarded.

⚠️

CDATA handling

Solution: CDATA sections contain raw text. Good tools extract it, but some may skip CDATA content entirely.

⚠️

Namespace prefixes in output

Solution: Some extractors may include namespace prefixes. Check that only actual text content is extracted.
