Text containing &lt; or &gt; are decoded to < or > symbols when parsed

[GovardhanNag]

Hi @radkovo ,

We are using CSSBox DOM parser for parsing the HTML source, here is the implementation:

try (DocumentSource docSource = new StreamDocumentSource(JAFIOUtils.toInputStream(htmlSource),
null, "text/html;charset=UTF-8")) {
LOGGER.error("Before parse "+htmlSource);
// Parse the input document
DOMSource parser = new DefaultDOMSource(docSource);
Document doc = parser.parse();
LOGGER.error("After parse "+doc.getFirstChild().getTextContent());
}

For example lets consider the input source or htmlSource is <style></style>Test User &lt;test.user@test.com&gt;
After parsing the output will be Test User <test.user@test.com>.

Here the text content which contains email field enclosed with < and > are decoded to < and >, but as per our requirement, the parser should not decode < and > to < and >.

How to retain the text as it is without decoding or encoding text in this case, @radkovo could you please provide the solution for this issue?
