I need your help!!!
I recently had someone send me a bug and through trouble shooting the bug realized that other programs cannot be trusted to export BeerXML properly. The two programs I looked at (BrewTarget and BrewMate) both do not follow the BeerXML standards found
HERE. As such my program cannot handle them correctly. Ive done all I can to get the most accurate information out of a file no matter the format, but some are just too wrong to handle.
So what I would like is if you use a program other than BeerSmith (I know he does it right, since he created BeerXML originally) if you could look at the file in notepad (or whatever program you use to view xml) and compare with the standard, also try it with my app and let me know of any issues. This way I can add it to the help page of known compatibility issues
Edit: If you arent comfortable looking at xml you can always send me the file, with what program its from and I will take a look
