The above code is giving output as 
{
                   'RECORD' => {
                               'TAG_1' => 'Value1',
                               'content' => ' 
  / Containing a slash>Value2/ Containing a slash>
  '
                             },
                   'content' => '
- '
                 };

I am expecting "TAG_2/ Containing a slash" key with value as Value2 but as we can see above it not giving the expected output. Looks like it is considering the slash in the tag as the end of the tag and hence the problem. Can somebody suggest as to how we can get rid of this problem.
