Thanks - I got it working with XML - I think whitespace was the issue.

<p>Im trying to get started using the Feedme plugin to import data from EE. Im working with the json template provided here: <a href="https://sgroup.com.au/plugins/feedme/guides/migrating-from-expressionengine" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://sgroup.com.au/plugins/feedme/guides/migrating-from-expressionengine</a></p>

<p>Ive been able to import data but when I include a rich text field Im getting errors – eg.</p>

This historic house was built between 1835 and 1838 by Pery Tontine Company, forming part of a terrace known collectively as the Tontine Building. It was the last Georgian terrace built in Limerick.

Any chance there is some unexpected whitespace in that data tripping up FeedMe?  i.e. vertical tab, etc.

@kevin-horan
what did you do to fix the problem? I'm experiencing exactly the same issue. Could you share the XML file/template that fixed the issue?

I had a similar error when I was doing an import; some entries made it and others didn't. It ended up I had an error in my JSON file so be sure to [lint it first](http://jsonlint.com).
