Howdy,
A couple of comments, and a request: see intermixed.
I've checked in my first pass at StringEscapeUtils. It handles Java,
JavaScript, and HTML entity escaping and unescaping.
Great -- thank you for contributing ;)
* StringEscapeUtils is a bit much to type for a quick static API call
-- should we rename it EscapeUtils? It's not like there will be any
other type of Escape...
I don't think it's a bit much, and I do like having the String in the
name of the class. I can't think of any other EscapeUtils candidates,
but that doesn't mean there can't be any, so let's keep it as
StringEscapeUtils.
* Java strings can handle raw single-quotes inside strings, but I
I agree. Good thinking.
* escapeJava now uses lowercase letters for hex codes. Are there any
feelings about switching to capital letters? I prefer caps (like
\uCAFE instead of \ucafe) but I could go either way.
No biggie either way.
* I made use of (and thus contributed) my StringPrintWriter class. Do
you think it's useful enough to make it part of the public API (and
add tests and docs for it)?
I would say keep it private unless/until there's demand to make it
public. The more public stuff we have, the more we have to worry about
support and maintenance as we move forward.
* XML escape, SQL escape. They're both easy, at least in the first
pass. But does anyone know how to escape high-bit and control
chars in SQL? (I know that JDBC has its own curly-brace escapes;
that's out of scope for this function.)
XML escape and unescape was my request, so good to see you already had
that in mind ;) It should be fairly simple to do with the regex stuff,
just have patterns for ,',,,...
* I think it'll be ready to roll for 2.0, but if we decide to
postpone, I'll have to change the build.xml to exclude it from the
jar.
A bit of a sticky point, the whole 2.0 release ;) I think Mr. Yandell
already addressed this one ;)
