Description

Entities are being processed in CDATA sections which appears to be incorrect. A previous issue (#40) provides discussion related to this issue. It appears that this issue was fixed in Version 3 and reintroduced in Version 4. To avoid a breaking change, adding an option to prevent entities from being processed within CDATA sections could be appropriate.

Input

Code

const options = {
  ignoreDeclaration: true,
  processEntities: true,
}
new (XMLParser(options)).parse(`<Root><a>test&gt;</a><b><![CDATA[test&gt;]]></b></Root>`)

Output

{ Root: { a: 'test>', b: 'test>' } }

expected data

{ Root: { a: 'test>', b: 'test>' } }
