-------------------------------
Summary: Possible performance improvement on string escape
functions
Key: LANG-935
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-935
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.text.translate.*
Affects Versions: 3.1
Reporter: Peter Wall
Priority: Minor
The escape functions for HTML etc. use the same code and the same
initialisation tables for the escape and unescape functions, and while this is
an elegant approach it leads to a number of deficiencies:
1. The code is very much less efficient than it could be
2. A new output string is created even when no conversion is required
3. No mapping is provided for characters that do not have a specific
representation (for example HTML 0x101 should become ā)
The proposal is to use a new mapping technique to address these issues
