/**
* {@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.

Note: Double and single quotes are not escaped, so it is not safe to use this
* escaper to escape attribute values. Use {@link #xmlContentEscaper} if the output can appear in
* element content or {@link #xmlAttributeEscaper} in attribute values.
*
*
This escaper substitutes {@code 0xFFFD} for non-whitespace control characters and the
* character values {@code 0xFFFE} and {@code 0xFFFF} which are not permitted in XML. For more
* detail see section 2.2 of
* the XML specification.
*
*
This escaper does not escape non-ASCII characters to their numeric character references
* (NCR). Any non-ASCII characters appearing in the input will be preserved in the output.
* Specifically "\r" (carriage return) is preserved in the output, which may result in it being
* silently converted to "\n" when the XML is parsed.
*
*
This escaper does not treat surrogate pairs specially and does not perform Unicode
* validation on its input.
