[x3d-public] Need to agree on setContent string encoding in Java (backslashes).

[John Carlson]

Note, that I believe that Don’s Java encoding produces correct XML, and mine does not.  We need to weigh the standard against practical engineering.

Don, we need to agree on setContent string encoding in Java, particularly \’s.: I would also think that \n would be encoded as \n in Java, but I seem to recall some issues with that.

Don’s Java

    .addMeta(new metaObject().setName("description").setContent("a script test with embedded \\n between single quotes, a double backslash \\\\\\\\ a backslash \\\\ and a closing quote \"")))

John’s Java:

        .addMeta(new metaObject().setName("description").setContent("a script test with embedded \\n between single quotes, a double backslash \\\\ a backslash \\ and a closing quote \"")))

X3D XML:

        <meta name='description' content='a script test with embedded \n between single quotes, a double backslash \\\\ a backslash \\ and a closing quote "'/>

X3D JSON:

          {
            "@name":"description",
            "@content":"a script test with embedded \n between single quotes, a double backslash \\\\ a backslash \\ and a closing quote \""
          },

Please advise! More to follow.

John
