how to escape xml entities in javascript?

Question

In JavaScript (server side nodejs) I\'m writing a program which generates xml as output.

I am building the xml by concatenating a string:

str += \'&l

This is simple:

sText = ("" + sText).split("<").join("<").split(">").join(">").split('"').join(""").split("'").join("'");
