toString() function encodes XML escape characters by default about ltx HOT 5 CLOSED

@vincentdass IIRC ' is not allowed in XML attribute values so I'm not sure what you expect?

@sonnyp , thanks for the quick response.
Referring to this stackoverflow post, it is found that ' (single quotes) are valid in XML attributes, when they are enclosed by double quotes.
I tried parsing and substitution with xmldom and it worked fine. No encoding is required for the same XML.
My expectation is XML special characters should not be encoded by default, it is purely users' choice.

Okay my bad. I wouldn't make anything optional though, just encode what needs to be however encoding only what needs to be does require some work, the current behaviour is functional and safe so it's definitely low priority for me but if anyone is willing to work on this; please do so.

@sonnyp , Can you please add me to this repo ?
I would like to contribute here.

<tag name="NodeName" websiteName="ValueOfWebsiteName" connectionStrinng="{name: 'myconnection'}" />
gets replaced to
<tag name="NodeName" websiteName="ValueOfWebsiteName" connectionStrinng="{name: &apos;myconnection&apos;}"/>

They're equivalent so there isn't much point to this?

Can you please add me to this repo ?
