title: What's the proper and reliable way to store an XML string as a JSON property?
body: <p>I want to store a string which itself is an XML string as a property of an JSON object , what's the <strong>reliable</strong> and <strong>proper</strong> way of dong this? Should I first encode the XML data into BASE64 first prior saving it to an JSON object, due to the fact that JSON does not support binary data? </p>
  
  <p>Example of data I want to store: </p>
  
  <pre><code>{ 
  "string1" : "&lt;xml&gt;...moderately complex XML...&lt;/xml&gt;" 
  } 
  </code></pre>
