No CData

[mvrhov]

I've defaulted the cdata to true to keep BC with existing serializer metadata. Although it's a bit annoying setting it to false on most of the string properties.

Added visitSimpleString into the XmlSerialization visitor, so Handlers can use that when serializing into the xml if they know that what is beeing serialized doesn0t need to be inside cdata

This one replaces #119

this should be removed

So when you set cdata=false but the string contains xml control characters, you get invalid xml?!

[Tobion]

I think it makes more sense to have an option on the serialization context (similar to setSerializeNull()) to only add CDATA when it's needed, and not per-property.

Have you tried this? I think any special characters will just get escaped.

[mvrhov]

IMO you get invalid XML. The reason why the text is not parsed is that parsing each node for invalid characters is really expensive in terms of performance.

Without cdata annotation:

<FromSiteName>
    <![CDATA[ K & S Perth ]]>
</FromSiteName>

With cdata=false:

<FromSiteName>K & S Perth</FromSiteName>

But expected:

<FromSiteName>K &amp; S Perth</FromSiteName>

[mvrhov]

Yes, that's expected. please read above. You must specify cdata attribute where invalid xml text is expected.
