-------------------------------------

             Summary: StringEscapeUtils.escapeXPath()
                 Key: LANG-1019
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1019
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: lang.*
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2
            Reporter: Yegor Bugayenko


Would be great to create a method that would escape a string for XPath. It is a 
well known problem that XPath doesn't have a mechanism for quotes escaping. See 
for example 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14822153/escape-single-quote-in-xpath-with-nokogiri

A very good workaround suggested here https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51785

Would be great to add a method to StringEscapeUtils
