This utility class encodes and decodes HTML and XML entities. The idea came from
an Android project, because {@link android.text.Html Html} does not support all
tags or like i.e. '„' („ or „) and is just too
complex for this purpose.
The goal is highly performant conversion with a minimum of memory footprint.
It is best for frequently usage of relatively short strings like you will
find in XML or HTML text elements or attribute values. So Regular Expressions
are not an option.
It does not yet support streaming. May be later.
The flow is optimized for the most probably occurence of characters in Roman languages, which means ASCII characters lower than 128 are most expected.
An apdaption for the Android platform would utilize
SparseArray
instead of
Map<String, Integer>
for the private encodeMap.
