GroboUtilXML version 1.1.0

Author:Matt Albrecht

1. Add this line to the top of your Java source:

   1:import net.sourceforge.groboutils.util.xml.v1.XMLUtil;
   

2. To convert a string to an XML-formatted string (suitable for including in attributes and in-line text):

   3:String mystring = XMLUtil.getInstance().utf2xml("Some' < \" < Text &.");
   4:StringBuffer sb = new Stringbuffer();
       

   The resulting string will be correctly escaped for XML.
3. If you want to append XML-formatted text to a string buffer, you can use:

   4:StringBuffer sb = new Stringbuffer();
   5:XMLUtil.getInstance().utf2xml( mytext, sb );
       

   This may be a bit faster, since it doesn't need to perform a toString() on an internal StringBuffer then append that to another StringBuffer.
