How to avoid double quotes in XML attribute values?

Question

From the following studies

<tag attr="\""> <tag attr="<![CDATA["]]>"> <tag attr='"'> 

Only the latter works for the XML parser that I use here. Is there any other alternative?

Answer 1

You can use "

Answer 2

From XML Specification :

To resolve attribute values ​​in both single and double quotation marks, an apostrophe or single quote character (') can be represented as "&", and a double quote character (") as" "".

Answer 3

The String conversion page on the Coder Toolbox site is convenient for encoding more than a small amount of HTML or XML code to include as a value in an XML element.

Answer 4

The double quote character ( " ) may be escaped as " but here the rest of the story ...

The double quote character must be escaped in this context:

• In XML attributes, separated by double quotes:

   <EscapeNeeded name="Pete &quot;Maverick&quot; Mitchell"/> 

The double quote character should not be escaped in most contexts:

• In XML text content:

   <NoEscapeNeeded>He said, "Don't quote me."</NoEscapeNeeded> 

• In XML attributes, separated by single quotes ( ' ):

   <NoEscapeNeeded name='Pete "Maverick" Mitchell'/> 

  Similarly, ( ' ) does not require escaping if ( " ) are used for separators of attribute values:

   <NoEscapeNeeded name="Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell"/>
