I was trying to create a typeDef that contained an attribute named something like "xml:value", but the XML returned by easy XML omits the colon in the output name: <feed xmlvalue="123"/>. The documentation doesn't have anything about escaping a colon.

This is an element inside one of the Google API XML structures.

Hi Jed,

You're really putting EasyXML through the paces

We appreciate you reporting these issues and will try to get these fixed as soon as possible.

I have reproduced the problem and have created a case and known issue topic in the forums, here:

Known Issue (Case 5175): Colon characters in names should not be removed

Thanks again,

-Jim

Would it be possible for JKI to provide a work-around for this? Maybe a regular expression that replaces all instances of a colon in the tag name (between a < and " or > character?

Thanks...
