This is the full error:



System.XmlException: start tag unexpected character = (position: END_TAG seen ...<source> Bicycling</source><media:contenturl=... @1:688)


So from my understanding, this is not valid XML. I was having an issue with the session body and had to make the following change:



<rss xmlns:media="http:..." and had to add <rsstxlmns:media="https:..."


Now, I am not sure how to go about this with the = sign.

          There are few things wrong with the xml.



          1) In Apex, the string starts and end with single quotes ' , thus you don't need to escape "



          2) You cannot use & in XML, it makes XML invalid, you have to escape it. &nbsp; will become &amp;nbsp;



          3) There is no tag as media:contenturl in rss specification ,the tag is media:content and having url as an attribute. Seems like you missed a space in that.



          Thus fixing all the above problem and formating the code, the code would be something like



          String input = '<rss xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" version="2.0">' +

          There are few things wrong with the xml.



          1) In Apex, the string starts and end with single quotes ' , thus you don't need to escape "



          2) You cannot use & in XML, it makes XML invalid, you have to escape it. &nbsp; will become &amp;nbsp;



          3) There is no tag as media:contenturl in rss specification ,the tag is media:content and having url as an attribute. Seems like you missed a space in that.



          Thus fixing all the above problem and formating the code, the code would be something like



          String input = '<rss xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" version="2.0">' +
          '<channel>' +
          '<item>' +
          '<title>Draymond Green Is a SoulCycle Devotee - Bicycling</title>' +
