How to disable/avoid Ampersand-Escaping in Java-XML?
i need to create something like: ∧(in the xml-file) and the problem is, that the java technique i am using convertes it to ∧ what doesn´t work for me. i need it in the first format. so, the question is, is there a way to escape it in some way or whatever to get it like that: ∧?
for the exporting i am using the same method as here: link
Is this what you want?
DocumentBuilderFactory f = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = f.newDocumentBuilder();
Document d = builder.newDocument();
Element root = d.createElement("root");
d.appendChild(root);
root.setTextContent("this text contains the \u2227 character");
Transformer t = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "US-ASCII");
t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
t.transform(new DOMSource(d), new StreamResult(System.out));
which produces
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" standalone="no"?>
<root>this text contains the ∧ character</root>
