Escape HTML in Languages with Accented Letters

Question

Which html escape method in Java is recommended to use if I don't want it to escape accented characters, for example, in string "Matías", accented í should remain unescaped.

Both StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml() and Springs's HtmlUtils.htmlEscape() escape these letters.

Answer 1

Using Spring's htmlEscape(String input, String encoding) you can pass an encoding like "UTF-8" . According to the JavaDoc the characters won't be escaped if they're in the given encoding (or at least that's how I understand it).

Answer 2

Guava 的 HtmlEscapers.htmlEscaper().escape(inputString) 在没有指定编码的情况下做到了这一点

Answer 3

Using Apache commons-text:

   public static final CharSequenceTranslator ESCAPE_CUSTOM =
         new AggregateTranslator(
                 new LookupTranslator(EntityArrays.BASIC_ESCAPE),
                 new LookupTranslator(EntityArrays.HTML40_EXTENDED_ESCAPE)
         );
   ESCAPE_CUSTOM.translate(input);
