I am working with some XML that holds strings like:
<node>This is a string</node>
Some of the strings that I am passing to the nodes will have characters like &, #, $, etc.:
<node>This is a string & so is this</node>
This is not valid due to &.
I cannot wrap these strings in CDATA as they need to be as they are. I tried looking for a list of characters that cannot be put in XML nodes without being in a CDATA.
Can someone point me in the direction of one or provide me with a list of illegal characters?
