        <item Volkswagon ></item>
        <item Volvo ></item>
        <item Wiesman ></item>

And I'm getting this error:

Attribute name "Abarth" associated with an element type "item" must be followed by the ' = ' character.

What does that mean?

Solution

Its problem in xml syntax, see an XML may have different type of nodes and each type of node is identified by its presentation, like

Element Node may be identified by:

<NodeName>NodeValue<NodeName>

TextNode:

"NodeValue"

Attribute Node:

<NodeName AttributeName="AttributeValue">

So your Xnk has been declared to contain item nodes as Attribute Nodes, but not specifying attribute value, use instead Element Node

<item>value</item>
