CDATA XML Feed Builder

Transform a collection of article-like records into an XML document while preserving raw text content using CDATA sections. Each record becomes a child of the root element, and each key in the record becomes a child element name.

Capabilities

Wraps text in CDATA

• String fields such as titles and bodies are emitted inside <![CDATA[...]]> so characters like < and & are not escaped. @test

Keeps numeric content plain

• Non-string fields (for example, view counts) remain plain text nodes without CDATA wrappers. @test

Custom root tag

• Supplying a root name creates that root element while still wrapping string fields in CDATA. @test

Implementation

@generates
