StringEscapeUtils from Apache Commons Lang:

import static org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml;
// ...
String source = "The less than sign (<) and ampersand (&) must be escaped before using them in HTML";
String escaped = escapeHtml(source);

版本3:

import static org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4;
// ...
String escaped = escapeHtml4(source);

有一个更新版本的Apache Commons Lang库，它使用了一个不同的包名(org.apache.commons.lang3)。StringEscapeUtils现在有不同的静态方法来转义不同类型的文档(http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-3.0/index.html)。转义HTML 4.0版本的字符串:

import static org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4;

String output = escapeHtml4("The less than sign (<) and ampersand (&) must be escaped before using them in HTML");

出于某些目的，htmltils:

import org.springframework.web.util.HtmlUtils;
[...]
HtmlUtils.htmlEscapeDecimal("&"); //gives &
HtmlUtils.htmlEscape("&"); //gives &

Apache Commons的替代方案:使用Spring的htmltils。htmlEscape(字符串输入)方法。

Be careful with this. There are a number of different 'contexts' within an HTML document: Inside an element, quoted attribute value, unquoted attribute value, URL attribute, javascript, CSS, etc... You'll need to use a different encoding method for each of these to prevent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Check the OWASP XSS Prevention Cheat Sheet for details on each of these contexts. You can find escaping methods for each of these contexts in the OWASP ESAPI library -- https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy.

对于使用谷歌番石榴的人:

import com.google.common.html.HtmlEscapers;
[...]
String source = "The less than sign (<) and ampersand (&) must be escaped before using them in HTML";
String escaped = HtmlEscapers.htmlEscaper().escape(source);
