Re: XMLSERVICE and Parsing XML Responses

Sounds good, Aaron.

Thanks for clarifying. That makes a whole lot more sense. I'm sure
Richard and I aren't the only ones would assumed an XML package would
escape data. RTFM I guess. :)

I only mentioned JSON because the YAJL package does do all necessary
escaping so I guess I got spoiled using that.. haha!

Escape the data yourself or use CDATA.

Yes, that's correct.

I think I like JSON better.

JSON has 8+ things needing to be escaped, though some of them are less
common than an ampersand.

Furthermore, because URL has no knowledge of URL escaping,
