Special Characters and XML Strings
XML has a special set of characters that cannot be used in normal XML strings. These characters are:
1. & - &
2. < - <
3. > - >
4. " - "
5. ' - '
For example, the following XML string is invalid:
<Organization>IBM & Microsoft</Organization>
Whereas the following is valid XML:
<Organization>IBM & Microsoft</Organization>
Note that we have replaced '&' with '&' in the second XML string which makes it valid.
