## Class XMLChar

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.struts2.jasper.xmlparser.XMLChar

-     public class XMLChar
      extends Object

  This class defines the basic XML character properties. The data in this class can be used to verify that a character is a valid XML character or if the character is a space, name start, or name character.

  A series of convenience methods are supplied to ease the burden of the developer. Because inlining the checks can improve per character performance, the tables of character properties are public. Using the character as an index into the `CHARS` array and applying the appropriate mask flag (e.g. `MASK_VALID`), yields the same results as calling the convenience methods. There is one exception: check the comments for the `isValid` method for details.

    - #### MASK_CONTENT

          public static final int MASK_CONTENT

      Content character mask. Special characters are those that can be considered the start of markup, such as '<' and '&'. The various newline characters are considered special as well. All other valid XML characters can be considered content.
