/**
* An object that converts literal text into a format safe for inclusion in a particular context
* (such as an XML document). Typically (but not always), the inverse process of "unescaping" the
* text is performed automatically by the relevant parser.
*
* For example, an XML escaper would convert the literal string {@code "Foo"} into {@code
* "Foo<Bar>"} to prevent {@code ""} from being confused with an XML tag. When the
* resulting XML document is parsed, the parser API will return this text as the original literal
* string {@code "Foo"}.
*
* An {@code Escaper} instance is required to be stateless, and safe when used concurrently by
* multiple threads.
*
*
Because, in general, escaping operates on the code points of a string and not on its
* individual {@code char} values, it is not safe to assume that {@code escape(s)} is equivalent to
* {@code escape(s.substring(0, n)) + escape(s.substing(n))} for arbitrary {@code n}. This is
* because of the possibility of splitting a surrogate pair. The only case in which it is safe to
* escape strings and concatenate the results is if you can rule out this possibility, either by
* splitting an existing long string into short strings adaptively around {@linkplain
* Character#isHighSurrogate surrogate} {@linkplain Character#isLowSurrogate pairs}, or by starting
* with short strings already known to be free of unpaired surrogates.
*
*
The two primary implementations of this interface are {@link CharEscaper} and {@link
* UnicodeEscaper}. They are heavily optimized for performance and greatly simplify the task of
* implementing new escapers. It is strongly recommended that when implementing a new escaper you
* extend one of these classes. If you find that you are unable to achieve the desired behavior
* using either of these classes, please contact the Java libraries team for advice.
*
*
Several popular escapers are defined as constants in classes like {@link
* com.google.common.html.HtmlEscapers}, {@link com.google.common.xml.XmlEscapers}, and {@link
* SourceCodeEscapers}. To create your own escapers, use {@link CharEscaperBuilder}, or extend
* {@code CharEscaper} or {@code UnicodeEscaper}.
