Correct xml escaping in Java -

i need convert csv xml , outputstream. rule convert " " in code.

input csv row:

{"test":"value"} 

expected output:

<root> <child>{&quot;test&quot;:&quot;value&quot;}</child> <root> 

current output:

<root> <child>{&amp;quot;test&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;value&amp;quot;}</child> <root> 

code:

file file = new file(filepath); bufferedreader reader = null;  documentbuilderfactory domfactory = documentbuilderfactory.newinstance(); documentbuilder dombuilder = domfactory.newdocumentbuilder();  document newdoc = dombuilder.newdocument(); element rootelement = newdoc.createelement("root"); newdoc.appendchild(rootelement);  reader = new bufferedreader(new filereader(file)); string text = null;      while ((text = reader.readline()) != null) {             element rowelement = newdoc.createelement("child");             rootelement.appendchild(rowelement);             text = stringescapeutils.escapexml(text);             rowelement.settextcontent(text);             }  bytearrayoutputstream outputstream = new bytearrayoutputstream(); source xmlsource = new domsource(newdoc); result outputtarget = new streamresult(outputstream); transformerfactory.newinstance().newtransformer().transform(xmlsource, outputtarget); system.out.println(new string(baos.tobytearray())) 

could please help? miss , when & convert &?

the xml library automatically escape strings need xml-escaped, don't need manually escape using stringescapeutils.escapexml. remove line , should exactly you're looking for properly-escaped xml.

xml doesn't require " characters escaped everywhere, within attribute values. valid xml already:

<root> <child>{"test":"value"}</child> <root> 

you escape quotes if had attribute contained quote, such as: <child attr="properly &quot;ed"/>

this 1 of main reasons use xml library: subtleties of quoting handled you. no need read xml spec make sure got quoting rules correct.
