XML parsers normally parse all the text in an XML document. When an XML element is parsed, the text between the XML tags is also parsed.
<description>This text is also parsed</description>
XML parsing is hindered when the text contains special characters, such as angle brackets, single quotes, or double quotes.
A CDATA element can be used to assist with this. Everything inside a CDATA section is ignored by the parser.
A CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>"
<description><![CDATA[ This is someone's complex description that says a < b when c = "foo" ]]></description>
