enum System.Xml.ConformanceLevel
Assembly: System.Xml.ReaderWriter
Specifies the amount of input or output checking that <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlReader" /> and <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlWriter" /> objects perform.
Values
Auto
The <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlReader" /> or <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlWriter" /> object automatically detects whether document-level or fragment-level checking should be performed, and does the appropriate checking. If you're wrapping another <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlReader" /> or <see cref="T:System.Xml.XmlWriter" /> object, the outer object doesn't do any additional conformance checking. Conformance checking is left up to the underlying object.
See the <see cref="P:System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings.ConformanceLevel" /> and <see cref="P:System.Xml.XmlWriterSettings.ConformanceLevel" /> properties for details on how the compliance level is determined.
Fragment
The 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].
Document
The 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.
