Method Detail

convertToChar

public static char convertToChar(java.lang.String string)

Convert a reference to a unicode character. Convert a single numeric character reference or character entity reference to a unicode character.

Parameters:

string - The string to convert. Of the form &xxxx; or &#xxxx; with or without the leading ampersand or trailing semi-colon.

Returns:

The converted character or '\0' (zero) if the string is an invalid reference.

decode

public static java.lang.String decode(java.lang.String string)

Decode a string containing references. Change all numeric character reference and character entity references to unicode characters.

Parameters:

string - The string to translate.

Returns:

returns the input string without html-entities.

convertToString

public static java.lang.String convertToString(java.lang.Character character)

Convert a character to a character entity reference. Convert a unicode character to a character entity reference of the form &xxxx;.

Parameters:

character - The character to convert.

Returns:

The converted character or null if the character is not one of the known entity references.

convertToString

public static java.lang.String convertToString(int character)

Convert a character to a numeric character reference. Convert a unicode character to a numeric character reference of the form &#xxxx;.

Parameters:

character - The character to convert.

Returns:

The converted character.

encode

public static java.lang.String encode(java.lang.String string)

Encode a string to use references. Change all characters that are not ASCII to their numeric character reference or character entity reference. This implementation is inefficient, allocating a new Character for each character in the string, but this class is primarily intended to decode strings so efficiency and speed in the encoding was not a priority.

Parameters:

string - The string to translate.

Returns:

returns the encoded input string.
