Convert

class Convert (View source)

Library of conversion functions, implemented as static methods.

The methods are all of the form (format)2(format), where the format is one of

raw: A UTF8 string attr: A UTF8 string suitable for inclusion in an HTML attribute js: A UTF8 string suitable for inclusion in a double-quoted javascript string.

array: A PHP associative array json: JavaScript object notation

html: HTML source suitable for use in a page or email text: Plain-text content, suitable for display to a user as-is, or insertion in a plaintext email.

Objects of type {@link ViewableData} can have an "escaping type", which determines if they are automatically escaped before output by {@link SSViewer}.
