Class HtmlEncoder

  • @Deprecated
public final class HtmlEncoder
extends java.lang.Object
    Deprecated.
    since 5.5.2
    This class converts a String to the HTML-format of a String.

    To convert the String, each character is examined:

    • ASCII-characters from 000 till 031 are represented as &#xxx;
      (with xxx = the value of the character)
    • ASCII-characters from 032 t/m 127 are represented by the character itself, except for:
      • '\n' becomes <BR>\n
      • " becomes &quot;
      • & becomes &amp;
      • < becomes &lt;
      • > becomes &gt;
    • ASCII-characters from 128 till 255 are represented as &#xxx;
      (with xxx = the value of the character)

    Example: 

        String htmlPresentation = HtmlEncoder.encode("Marie-Thérèse Sørensen");
