Gson's .toJson method replaces < with \u003c

Question

I am trying to convert a Java object having values in one variable as a string of xml .

Eg: <soapenvelope... >

After using

String json = new Gson().toJson(testVO)

It replaces "<" with \u003c. I want to avoid this as I will then display the data in jquery datatables which fails to recognize the string of xml and print some random values.

You need to disable http://google-gson.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gson/docs/javadocs/com/google/gson/GsonBuilder.html#disableHtmlEscaping%28%29

Can you avoid Gson converting "<" and ">" into unicode escape sequences?
