/**
* {@code Escaper} instances suitable for strings to be included in XML
* attribute values and elements' text contents. When possible, avoid manual
* escaping by using templating systems and high-level APIs that provide
* autoescaping. For example, consider XOM or
* JDOM.
*
* Note: Currently the escapers provided by this class do not escape
* any characters outside the ASCII character range. Unlike HTML escaping the
* XML escapers will not escape non-ASCII characters to their numeric entity
* replacements. These XML escapers provide the minimal level of escaping to
* ensure that the output can be safely included in a Unicode XML document.
*
*
*
For details on the behavior of the escapers in this class, see sections
* 2.2 and
* 2.4 of the
* XML specification.
