Entity References in RDF/XML #9

Open GitHubber1 opened 10 years ago

GitHubber1 commented 10 years ago

Hi Marcel, in our Excel sheets sometimes a "less than" symbol (<) appears. When Literal values inlcude this character invalid XML is the result. So far I handle this problem within costum logic blocks where these sybols are replaced by the entity reference according to the XML Syntax. As this was not necessary for other serialization formats, the best solution would be only replacing the special characters with entity references when an RDF/XML transformation is performed. Is there a workaround or will this functionality maybe be planned for further releases? Best regards, Andy

Hi, sorry for the late response, but I am very busy currently and can't afford the time to look into your issues. If you're willing to take matters into your own hands, I could give you some hints. For your performance problem I would recommend to apply a profiler, to look for parts where optimisations are the most effective.
