I am using google contacts API v2 for creating contacts to the google
account.
I am generating xml from contacts properties as below.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><atom:feed xmlns:atom='http://
www.w3.org/2005/Atom'

mark that the postal address field contains ' (single quote),
North O'Connor
I am also passing this whole serialized contact as extended property
for my some personal use.
In response of this feed,
google API gives response like below.

I think the problem is with my extended property address0, what should
I do to escape '(single quote). and if using CDATA for
extendedProperty-value is solution then How can I use that?
I have tried various alternatives to replace this single quote,
1. tried replacing ' with '' , same error
2. tried replacing ' with &s; (replaced all html entities) but in
google contacts panel it is rendering as &s; not as ' (single
quote)
3. tried replacing ' with %27 (tried url encoding) but in google
contact panel it is rendering as %27 not as '(single quote).
I am sending header content type as
Content-type: application/atom+xml
so what should I do, to create contact with address containing
'(single quote) and also it renders as '(single quote) in google
contacts view.
waiting for your kind reply.
