Hello,

I need to create a XML document which should be in UTF-8 encoding. I have in the script large object which I want to convert to XML.

I have found "XMLHelper" class and "toXMLStr()" method which should do that.

What I have figured out is that this method "toXMLStr()" doesn't do any escaping of special characters which causes generating of invalid XML document.

Second thing is that I was not able to find any documentation related to this method regarding to encoding of XML document. Do you know when I use this method what is the encoding format of generated XML document?

Do you have maybe any other suggestion when I want to easily convert object structure to XML what method or class would be the best for escaping the special characters(<,>,...) and to get UTF-8 encoding?

thanks a lot
