Hi,

When we try to excute the xml-to-json function we got the forward slash escaped which cause errors in our side. Could you please tell us how could we avoid this escape.

We are using saxon-ee-10.4

Please find attached the xslt map and the payload.

Thank yo in advance.

As a workaround, where you do xml-to-json($json), you can use xml-to-json($json) => parse-json() => serialize(map{ 'method' : 'json', 'use-character-maps' : map { '/' : '/' } }) instead. Kind of convoluted and I am only suggesting that as a possible workaround if you want a JSON output without the solidus/forwards slash being escaped,to move on with your code.

Saxon is doing what the spec says. Escaping of forward slash is recommended because the generated JSON might be used in an HTML script element, where it could potentially cause problems.

This is an aspect of the 3.1 serialization spec that many people dislike and in the 4.0 specification there is an option to suppress it (which is implemented in recent commercial versions of Saxon). See https://github.com/qt4cg/qtspecs/issues/530

Add the serialization option escape-solidus="no".
