[Bug]: xml:fromString() fails to parse valid XML with declaration — throws “Illegal processing instruction target ('xml')” #44363
Description
Description
When trying to parse a valid XML string that includes an XML declaration using xml:fromString(), the function throws an error even though the XML content is valid.
Steps to Reproduce
public function main() returns error? {
string body = string `<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF8"?><A><B>123</B></A>`;
xml val = check xml:fromString(body);
}The XML declaration is valid as per the XML specification.
xml:fromString() should successfully parse this string and produce the corresponding XML object.
