How to replace XML at parse time #11

Open Kisty opened 8 years ago

Kisty commented 8 years ago

I've got a Android podcast app that gets XML which is malformed when a ' & ' is in the author's name which is an XML value. I don't have access to fix the XML on the server.

How could I replace & with &?

Thanks!

We could go further and perhaps correct bad XML on-the-fly. JSoup does this, so why not here?
