How do you encode special characters in the XML?

[Kishan]

Following characters are special characters in XML.
<, >, Quote, & etc..

XML Entities: &lt; &gt; &amp; &quot;

Replacing above special characters with xml entities is called as encoding.
You can acheive encode in two ways:
1) Best way to encoding is write a text inside PCDATA so parsers treat them accordingly.
2) Write java method will replace special chars with entity chars.

Example:

Code: Select all

<math><![CDATA[a > b ]]></math>
