Method Details

escapeJava
Escapes the characters in a
String
using Java String rules.Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.)
So a tab becomes the characters
'\\'
and't'
.The only difference between Java strings and JavaScript strings is that in JavaScript, a single quote and forward-slash (/) are escaped.
Example:
input string: He didn't say, "Stop!" output string: He didn't say, \"Stop!\"
- Parameters:
input
- String to escape values in, may be null- Returns:
- String with escaped values,
null
if null string input
-
unescapeJava
Unescapes any Java literals found in the
String
. For example, it will turn a sequence of'\'
and'n'
into a newline character, unless the'\'
is preceded by another'\'
.This can be replaced by String::translateEscapes in JDK 13
- Parameters:
