Description

I need to include xml attribute, like this : <internal-name tokenized="true">test test &gt; 14</internal-name>

Input

Code

defaultXmlOptions: {
      ignoreAttributes: false,
      attributeNamePrefix: "@_",
      indentBy: "  ",
      textNodeName: "#text",
      format: true,
  },
var testJson = { component: {
      "internal-name": {
          "#text": "test test > 14",
          "@_tokenized": true
      }
  }}

Here is the code that converts:

var parser = new XMLBuilder(CRUDService.defaultXmlOptions);
var xml = parser.build(testJson);

That attribute should have ="true"

Output

<component>
  <internal-name tokenized>test test &gt; 14</internal-name>
</component>

expected data

<component>
  <internal-name tokenized="true">test test &gt; 14</internal-name>
</component>

      attributeNamePrefix: "@_",
      indentBy: "  ",
      textNodeName: "#text",
      format: true,

var testJson = { component: {
      "internal-name": {
          "#text": "test test > 14",
          "@_tokenized": true
      }
  }}

got your problem. "@_tokenized": true this is set as boolean. Can you try to set it as string?

[MarcoPolo-PasTonMolo]

Just tried this setting it as a string changes nothing. What you can do however is to add this property to your options and the original should work
suppressBooleanAttributes: false
