StringEscapeUtils instances should NOT be constructed in
standard programming.
Instead, the class should be used as:
StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava("foo");
This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.
Escapes the characters in a String using Java String rules.
Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.)
So a tab becomes the characters '\\' and 't'.
The only difference between Java strings and JavaScript strings is that in JavaScript, a single quote must be escaped.
Example:
input string: He didn't say, "Stop!" output string: He didn't say, \"Stop!\"
str - String to escape values in, may be nullnull if null string input Escapes the characters in a String using Java String rules to
a Writer.
A null string input has no effect.
nullout - Writer to write escaped string intostr - String to escape values in, may be null Escapes the characters in a String using JavaScript String rules.
Escapes any values it finds into their JavaScript String form. Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.)
So a tab becomes the characters '\\' and 't'.

nullout - Writer to write escaped string intostr - String to escape values in, may be null Unescapes any Java literals found in the String.
For example, it will turn a sequence of '\' and
'n' into a newline character, unless the '\'
is preceded by another '\'.
str - the String to unescape, may be nullString, null if null string input
Unescapes any Java literals found in the String to a
Writer.

'n' into a newline character, unless the '\'
is preceded by another '\'.
