escaping characters in an XMLDocument

[DavidNovo]

Hello,
I have an XMLDocument, using that class within jcabi. The string used to create the XMLDocument mya contain a String payload. The string contains undecoded characters like &ls; or > and so on.

How can I decode these characters? i.e. change them into < or >?

I have been told I do not need to use StringEscapeUtils from the Apache commons package.
