[jira] [Commented] (OAK-5090) Provide escape/unescape utility for Oak node names

["Alexander Klimetschek (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5090?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15653266#comment-15653266 ] 

Alexander Klimetschek commented on OAK-5090:
--------------------------------------------

Where should it go? IMO putting it into jackrabbit-api Text would be great in order to make it as visible as possible. Downside is that if the escaping needs to change in line with Oak versions, is that this would be a bit decoupled.

> JCR applications often use [Text.escapeIllegalJcrChars()|https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.8/org/apache/jackrabbit/util/Text.html#escapeIllegalJcrChars(java.lang.String)], but missing that Oak has more limits. There should be a common escape/unescape utility that covers all and ensures applications don't have problems with special characters.
