Throw an exception when invalid XML char occurs in input.

What is Jackalope Doctrine DBAL?

Jackalope Doctrine DBAL is a support library for Doctrine PHPCRODM which is used by Symfony Content Management Framework.

About

Last summer my employer used Symfony CMF to build his own CMS. During development, our designer pasted some text from Photoshop into one of our test pages. Suddenly, whole website broke down like a wall from match boxes.

After digging through the database, I’ve found out, that the Photoshop uses 0x03 as it’s \n character. Also, Symfony CMF uses all text files as XML documents into database. And the 0x03 must not occur within an XML document. There was no check for those characters in Jackalope Doctrine DBAL at that moment, so I’ve wrote one and it was successfully merged and is still used.
