  • Method Details

    • convertXMLCharEntity

      public static String convertXMLCharEntity(String charEntity)

      Converts an XML char entity to the matching character or string. This is a convenience method that uses convertCharEntity with false for lookupHTMLentities and a null userDefinedCharEntities

      Parameters
      • charEntity: The char entity to convert (Not including the & and ;)
      Returns

      A string containing a single char, or the original char entity string (with & and ;) if the char entity couldn't be resolved

    • convertHTMLCharEntity

      public static String convertHTMLCharEntity(String charEntity)

      Converts an HTML char entity to the matching character or string. This is a convenience method that uses convertCharEntity with true for lookupHTMLentities and a null userDefinedCharEntities

      Parameters
      • charEntity: The char entity to convert (Not including the & and ;)
      Returns

      A string containing a single char, or the original char entity string (with & and ;) if the char entity couldn't be resolved

    • convertCharEntity

      public static String convertCharEntity(String charEntity, boolean lookupHTMLentities, Hashtable userDefinedCharEntities)

      Converts a char entity to the matching character or string. This handles both numbered and symbol char entities (The latter is done via getCharEntityCode)

      Parameters

      • charEntity: The char entity to convert (Not including the & and ;)

      • lookupHTMLentities: true to include the basic HTML named char entities (unicode 160-255), false otherwise

      • userDefinedCharEntities: A hashtable containing (String,int) dentoing the char entity name and its unicode

      Returns

      A string containing a single char, or the original char entity string (with & and ;) if the char entity couldn't be resolved

    • encodeString

      public static String encodeString(String str)

      Encodes the specified string to "percent-encoding" or URL encoding. This encodes reserved, unsafe and unicode characters

      Parameters
      • str: The string to be encoded
      Returns
