Better advertizing of utils
---------------------------
Key: LANG-465
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-465
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Wish
Affects Versions: 2.4
Environment: any
Reporter: Gregor B. Rosenauer
Priority: Trivial
Recently I had a problem with Unicode characters and some backend system that
does not support Unicode.
I searched the Web for existing source and found some which I reused for
translating to/from Unicode escapes, so I could store the data in the backend
system without garbling characters.
Now I just found out about StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava() and .unescapeJava()
which does exactly this and works perfectly!
The Apache community never seizes to amaze me, well done - but please *do*
advertize these handy utility functions more publicly! Why do only the "front
end" projects get all the attention, when there are such jewels hiding away in
the dark? :-)))
Thanks for another great library.
