Rewrite StringEscapeUtils
-------------------------
Key: LANG-505
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-505 Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Henri Yandell
Fix For: 3.0
I think StringEscapeUtils needs a strong rewrite. For each escape method (and unescape) there tend to be three or four types of escaping happening. So not being able to define which set of three or four apply is a pain point (and cause of bug reports due to different desired features).
We should be offering basic functionality, but also allowing people to say "escape(Escapers.BASIC_XML, Escapers.LOW_UNICODE, Escapers.HIGH_UNICODE)".
Also should delete escapeSql; it's a bad one imo. Dangerous in that it will lead people to not use PreparedStatement and given it only escapes ', it's not much use. Especially as different dialects escape that in different ways.
Opening this ticket for discussion.
