@Deprecated(since="2.1.0") public final class HtmlEncoder extends Object
Deprecated.
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");
