How to encode XML on Android?

Question

I need to encode an XML document in a format that will pass through an XML parser as a string (i.e. delimiter tags). Then I need to decode it again, and I need to do it on Android. What is the library / class in the Android API I'm looking for?

thank

I ended up using URLEncoder / URLDecoder, which seems to work well.

String encoded = URLEncoder.encode(xml);

xs.text("<bar>this is some complete XML document you had around before</bar>");
xs.endTag(null, "foo");
xs.endDocument();
Log.v("XMLTest", "Generated XML = " + sw.toString());
