Class StringEscaper

java.lang.Object

org.eigenbase.xom.StringEscaper

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class StringEscaper
extends Object
implements Cloneable

StringEscaper is a utility for replacing special characters with escape sequences in strings. Initially, a StringEscaper starts out as an identity transform in the "mutable" state. Call defineEscape as many times as necessary to set up mappings, and then call makeImmutable() before using appendEscapedString to actually apply the defined transform. Or, use one of the global mappings pre-defined here.
