Hi, The SAX parser does not output XML. It outputs character strings. When you write the text back to an XML file, you have to do XML escaping again. That is not difficult, only a few characters must be escaped as specified in the rec, see section 4.6.
You will be easier off by using an XML serializer. The TRAX interface provides one: present your data as a SAXSource by letting your app send the SAX events and request a StreamResult with an identity transformation.
