Description
hi,
my customer found a problem with '&' handling in json.
after some debug, i believe the problem is in openapi generator for c#.
my server is java and in the last 2 years i never had any issue with openapi/server java.
im using the last jar, and here is how i generate my client in ant:
<java jar="**openapi-generator-cli-7.9.0.jar**"
fork="true"
failonerror="true"
maxmemory="128m">
<arg value="generate"/>
<arg value="--skip-validate-spec"/>
<arg value="-g"/>
<arg value="csharp"/>
<arg value="--additional-properties=targetFramework=net48"/>
<arg value="--additional-properties=packageName=${csprj}"/>
<arg value="--additional-properties=validatable=false"/>
<arg value="-o"/>
<arg value="generated"/>
<arg value="-i"/>
<arg value="${yaml.dir}/wsd.json"/>
</java>
here is an example of a data field ("notes")
"S1UserInfo": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
....
"**notes**": {
"type": "string",
"nullable": true
},
everything work well, except when i set the S1UserInfo.notes to "a & b". my java server (i checked using zalando's http logger) it show "a & b", as in html.
i hope somebody can help me to understand if is a bug or i missed something.
thanks,
David

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with the Ant generate command using openapi-generator-cli-7.9.0.jar, the C# generator, and the S1UserInfo.notes string value a & b. Compare the generated client's request with the server's logged payload; done means the literal ampersand is transmitted without becoming &.
