Encoders (Java Encoder 1.2.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.owasp.encoder.Encoders

```
public final class Encoders
extends Object
```
Encoders -- Public factory method for obtaining instances of Encoders. Classes implementing the encoders are not directly exposed as part of the API since encoding strategies are subject to change. In many cases encoders will share the same implementation, but have different internal flags for how to handle varied content. For example the XML_CONTENT and XML_ATTRIBUTE contexts may currently share the same class with each instances having a different set of flags. Future version may optimize them into different classes.
All encoders returned by the factory are thread-safe.
