I totally agree! From my experience, <![CDATA[]]> is like telling the XML parser, “Hey, just leave this content alone and treat it as raw text.” It’s particularly useful when you have complex data that includes characters reserved for markup like <, &, or > and you don’t want them to mess up your XML structure. However, if the data you’re dealing with is just simple text with no special characters, then normal XML encoding will do just fine, and there’s no need to use CDATA. It’s all about making things simpler when you’re embedding more complex content like HTML or JavaScript into your XML without the headache of escaping everything.
