Convert XML with quotes (and other characters) in text to JSON encoding

[schallm]

I'm trying to convert XML (from a system I don't control) to JSON. The XML sometimes contains double quotes and other "special" characters in the text content. Dasel version 2.8.1 currently encodes:

• " as " where I would like it to be \"
• > as > where I would like it to be >

I assume this is html encoding? Is there an argument that controls this that I am missing?

Here is a sample string showing what I'm sending:

echo '<foo>"bar>baz"</foo>' | dasel.exe --read xml --write json

It returns:

{
  "foo": ""bar>""
}

I need it to return:

{
  "foo": "\"bar>baz\""
}

I'm running this on Windows if that matters.
