/**
 * A builder that facilitates the building up of XSS-safe HTML from text snippets. It is used
 * essentially like a {@link StringBuilder}; unlike a {@link StringBuilder}, it automatically
 * HTML-escapes appended input where necessary.
 *
 * 

In addition, it supports methods that allow strings with HTML markup to be appended without * escaping: One can append other {@link SafeHtml} objects, and one can append constant strings. The * method that appends constant strings ({@link #appendHtmlConstant(String)}) requires a convention * of use to be adhered to in order for this class to adhere to the contract required by {@link * SafeHtml}: The argument expression must be fully determined and known to be safe at compile time, * and the value of the argument must not contain incomplete HTML tags. See {@link * #appendHtmlConstant(String)} for details. * *

The accumulated XSS-safe HTML can be obtained in the form of a {@link SafeHtml} via the {@link * #toSafeHtml()} method. * *

This class is not thread-safe. */ public final class SafeHtmlBuilder { private final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); /** Constructs an empty SafeHtmlBuilder. */ public SafeHtmlBuilder() {} /* * Boolean and numeric types converted to String are always HTML safe -- no * escaping necessary. */ /** * Appends the string representation of a boolean. * * @param b the boolean whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(boolean b) { sb.append(b); return this; } /** * Appends the string representation of a number. * * @param num the number whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(byte num) { sb.append(num); return this; } /** * Appends the string representation of a char. * * @param c the character whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object * @see SafeHtmlUtils#htmlEscape(char) */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(char c) { sb.append(SafeHtmlUtils.htmlEscape(c)); return this; } /** * Appends the string representation of a number. * * @param num the number whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(double num) { sb.append(num); return this; } /** * Appends the string representation of a number. * * @param num the number whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(float num) { sb.append(num); return this; } /** * Appends the string representation of a number. * * @param num the number whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(int num) { sb.append(num); return this; } /** * Appends the string representation of a number. * * @param num the number whose string representation to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(long num) { sb.append(num); return this; } /** * Appends the contents of another {@link SafeHtml} object, without applying HTML-escaping to it. * * @param html the {@link SafeHtml} to append * @return a reference to this object */ public SafeHtmlBuilder append(SafeHtml html) { sb.append(html.asString()); return this; } /** * Appends a string after HTML-escaping it. * * @param text the string to append * @return a reference to this object * @see SafeHtmlUtils#htmlEscape(String) */ public SafeHtmlBuilder appendEscaped(String text) { sb.append(SafeHtmlUtils.htmlEscape(text)); return this; } /** * Appends a string consisting of several newline-separated lines after HTML-escaping it. Newlines * in the original string are converted to {@code
} tags. * * @param text the string to append * @return a reference to this object * @see SafeHtmlUtils#htmlEscape(String) */ public SafeHtmlBuilder appendEscapedLines(String text) { sb.append(SafeHtmlUtils.htmlEscape(text).replaceAll("\n", "
")); return this; } /** * Appends a compile-time-constant string, which will not be escaped. * *

Important: For this class to be able to honor its contract as required by {@link * SafeHtml}, all uses of this method must satisfy the following constraints: * *

    *
  1. The argument expression must be fully determined at compile time. *
  2. The value of the argument must end in "inner HTML" context and not contain incomplete * HTML tags. I.e., the following is not a correct use of this method, because the {@code * } tag is incomplete: *
       * {@code shb.appendHtmlConstant("
