```
public static String escapeJava(String input)
```
    Escapes the characters in a String using Java String rules.
    
    Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.)
    
    So a tab becomes the characters '\\' and 't'.
    
    The only difference between Java strings and JavaScript strings is that in JavaScript, a single quote and forward-slash (/) are escaped.
    
    Example:
    
    input string: He didn't say, "Stop!" output string: He didn't say, \"Stop!\"
    Parameters:
    
    input - String to escape values in, may be null
    
    Returns:
    
    String with escaped values, null if null string input
  - unescapeJava
```
public static String unescapeJava(String input)
```
    Unescapes any Java literals found in the String. For example, it will turn a sequence of '\' and 'n' into a newline character, unless the '\' is preceded by another '\'.
    
    This can be replaced by String::translateEscapes in JDK 13
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - the String to unescape, may be null
    
    Returns:
    
    a new unescaped String, null if null string input
  - unescapeJavaTextBlock
```
public static String unescapeJavaTextBlock(String input)
```
