Represent space and tab in XML tag

Question

How to represent space and tab in XML tag. Is there any special characters for them to represent.

Answer 1

Illegal XML Tag Name Characters can be encoded using Unicode UCS-2. This works very nicely. I am using it to create XML that gets turned into json (JPath is weak compared to XPath). Notice the handling of spaces, (, ) characters. Unicode UCS-2 Code Chart: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ucs2.html

        tag.Name = tag.Name.Replace(" ", "_x0020_");
        tag.Name = tag.Name.Replace("(", "_x0028_");
        tag.Name = tag.Name.Replace(")", "_x0029_");

XML:

  {CHARGEBACKCODE}
  {CHARGEBACKCODE}
  zzz@yyy.gov

transformed to json via json.net:

    "Internal Chargeback ID": "{CHARGEBACKCODE}",
    "Bill To": "{CHARGEBACKCODE}",
    "Operator or Directly Responsible Individual (DRI)": "xxx@yyy.gov",
