Unable to parse value containing special character? Using sax parser

Question

I am new to parsing field. I\'m trying to write a parser code but unable to get the value with respect to a particular tag that value contains ampersand(&).

Answer 1

You must replace your special characters with the characters that are accepted for an XML file. In your case & should be replaced by &

@Override
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)
        throws SAXException {
    content = String.copyValueOf(ch, start, length).trim();
    content = content.replace("&", "&")
}
