ampersand (&) is escaped to &

double quotes (") are escaped to "

single quotes (') are escaped to ' 

less than (<) is escaped to &lt; 

greater than (>) is escaped to &gt;

在c#中，使用system . security . securyelement.escape或System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode来转义这些非法字符。

string xml = "<node>it's my \"node\" & i like it 0x12 x09 x0A  0x09 0x0A <node>";
string encodedXml1 = System.Security.SecurityElement.Escape(xml);
string encodedXml2= System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlEncode(xml);


encodedXml1
"&lt;node&gt;it&apos;s my &quot;node&quot; &amp; i like it 0x12 x09 x0A  0x09 0x0A &lt;node&gt;"

encodedXml2
"&lt;node&gt;it&#39;s my &quot;node&quot; &amp; i like it 0x12 x09 x0A  0x09 0x0A &lt;node&gt;"

预先声明的字符是:

& < > " '

综上所述，文本中的有效字符为:

制表符，换行和换行。 除&和<外，所有非控制字符都有效。 如果使用]]，则>无效。

XML规范的2.2节和2.4节详细给出了答案:

字符

合法字符包括制表符、回车符、换行符以及Unicode和ISO/IEC 10646的合法字符

字符数据

The ampersand character (&) and the left angle bracket (<) must not appear in their literal form, except when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment, a processing instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric character references or the strings " & " and " < " respectively. The right angle bracket (>) may be represented using the string " > ", and must, for compatibility, be escaped using either " > " or a character reference when it appears in the string " ]]> " in content, when that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section.

“XmlWriter和低ASCII字符”对我很有用

string code = Regex.Replace(item.Code, @"[\u0000-\u0008,\u000B,\u000C,\u000E-\u001F]", "");

对于Java人来说，Apache有一个实用程序类(StringEscapeUtils)，它有一个帮助方法escapeXml，可以用来使用XML实体转义字符串中的字符。

在c#中删除不正确的XML字符的另一种方法是使用XmlConvert。IsXmlChar (.NET Framework 4.0后可用)

public static string RemoveInvalidXmlChars(string content)
{
   return new string(content.Where(ch => System.Xml.XmlConvert.IsXmlChar(ch)).ToArray());
}

或者你可以检查所有字符都是xml有效的:

public static bool CheckValidXmlChars(string content)
{
   return content.All(ch => System.Xml.XmlConvert.IsXmlChar(ch));
}

net小提琴

例如，垂直制表符(\v)对于XML无效，它是有效的UTF-8，但不是有效的XML 1.0，甚至许多库(包括libxml2)都会遗漏它并无声地输出无效的XML。
