Sebb commented on LANG-1019:
----------------------------
This seems out of scope for LANG, as it is specific to XPath queries.
AFAICT the workround in the php bug entry is just an implementation of the
algorithm from the SO question.
i.e.
- split the original up into parts that only contain a single quote type.
- use the other quote to quote the segment
- use concat to rejoin the quoted segments
> StringEscapeUtils.escapeXPath()

> 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
