Sometimes, when testing through the PromoStandards Web Service Validator, SoapUI, Wizdler, or any other SOAP tools, you may encounter special characters which require encoding or decoding.

The following list shows some special characters and their encoded values:
  • & (ampersand, U+0026) → &
  • < (less-than sign, U+003C) → &lt; 
  • > (greater-than sign, U+003E) → &gt;
  • " (quotation mark, U+0022) → &quot;
  • ' (apostrophe, U+0027) → &apos;
Note: If you use any of the character(s) mentioned above in your user ID or password, you must replace the character(s) with the encoded value for a proper API response when using the aforementioned SOAP tools.
