...
StringtextToXml(String text)

StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < charArray.length; i++) {
    final char ch = charArray[i];
    switch (cdataFilter(ch)) {
    case 0:
        buffer.append(ch);
        break;
...

...
StringunwrapCdata(String s)
unwrap Cdata 
return (s.startsWith("<![CDATA[") && s.endsWith("]]>")
        ? s.substring(9, s.length() - 3).replace("]]]]><![CDATA[>", "]]>")
        : s);
StringunwrapCdata(String sText)
If the text is wrapped with a "[CDATA[ ]]" tag then it is removed and the text inside is returned. 
if ((sText != null) && (sText.trim().startsWith("[CDATA[")) && (sText.trim().endsWith("]]"))) {
    return sText.trim().substring(7, sText.trim().length() - 2);
} else {
    return sText;
StringunwrapCDATA(String str)

return str.replace(CDATA_START, "").replace(CDATA_END, "");
StringxmlEncode(final String text)
xml Encode 
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++) {
    char currentChar = text.charAt(i);
    if (!((currentChar >= 'a' && currentChar <= 'z') || (currentChar >= 'A' && currentChar <= 'Z')
            || (currentChar >= '0' && currentChar <= '9'))) {
        result.append("&#" + (int) currentChar + ";");
    } else {
        result.append(currentChar);
