Method Details- 
escapeJavaEscapes the characters in aStringusing 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 must be escaped. Example: input string: They didn't say, "Stop!" output string: They didn't say, \"Stop!\" - Parameters:
- str- String to escape values in, may be null
- Returns:
- String with escaped values, nullif null string input
 
-

- str- String to escape values in, may be null
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if the Writer is- null
- IOException- if error occurs on underlying Writer
