Use of Greater Than Symbol in XML

I had created the xml document with xml version="1.0".

In that document I need to use the greater than symbol > and less than symbol <.

How should I include those symbols? It's not working.

> and < are not working for me.

Is there any special encoder for this?

Solution 1:

You need the Character Entity References

< = &lt;

> = >

Solution 2:

You can try to use CDATA to put all your symbols that don't work.

An example of something that will work in XML:

<![CDATA[
function matchwo(a,b) {
    if (a < b && a < 0) {
        return 1;
   } else {
       return 0;
   }
}
]]>

And of course you can use < and >.

Solution 3:

Use > and < for 'greater-than' and 'less-than' respectively
