After XML parsing is complete, every occurrence of & will have been replaced by &

1. True
2. False

Scroll down to see the answer ……………

False! If the & is within a CDATA section or within a comment, then it will be unchanged. Otherwise, it will be changed.

Lesson Learned: An XML lexer/parser must perform conditional processing:

IF (& is within a CDATA section or comment) THEN

    OUTPUT(“&”)

ELSE

    OUTPUT(“&”)
