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.
