The conversion supports both converting a numeric character reference (&#nnnn; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form or &xhhhh; where hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal point) and a character entity reference (&name; where name is the case-sensitive name of the entity).

| public static String | Returns: The given string with any reserved characters converted into the escape charactersA string that may contain characters that need to be escaped value, int[] This array of length one or two can be used to adjust the position of the
cursor or a text range within the string during the conversion of the reserved characters positions)Converts the characters that are reserved in an XML document the given string may have into their corresponding references (escape characters) using the character entity reference. |
| public static String | Returns: The Unicode character mapped to the given reference ornull if the
reference is invalid or unknownThe numeric character or character entity reference stripped of the leading
ampersand and trailing semi-colon reference)Returns the Unicode character for the given reference (which is either a numeric character reference or a character entity reference). |
| public static String | Returns: The escape character with the entity name of the given character if it is a reserved character; otherwise returnsnullThe reserved character to retrieve its escape character with the entity name character)Returns the escaped character for the given reserved character. |
| public static boolean | Returns: true if the given character is defined as a reserved characters;
false otherwiseThe character to verify if it's one of the reserved characters character)Determines if the given character is one of the XML/HTML reserved characters. |
| public static void | reposition(CharSequence
The query that may contain escape characters query, int[] The position within the non-escaped version of the given query, which is
either a single element position or two positions that is used as a text range. After execution
contains the adjusted positions by moving it based on the difference between the escape and
non-escaped versions of the query positions)Re-adjusts the given positions, which is based on the non-escaped version of the given query, by making sure it is pointing at the same position within query, which contains references (escape characters). |
| public static String | Returns: The given string with any escape characters converted into the actual Unicode charactersA string that may contain escape characters value, int[] This array of length one can be used to adjust the position of the cursor
within the string during the conversion of the escape characters position)Converts the references (escape characters) the given string may have into their corresponding Unicode characters. |
