Define the different escape types. These are used to interpret escape sequences found in strings and to determine how escapes are used when encoding.

Variants

Char(char)

A character escape. For instance, this can be used to map \n to a newline.

NakedASCII

A “naked” ASCII escape of exactly two hex digits of value at most 7F. This is how Rust handles \xNN.

NakedByte

A “naked” byte escape of exactly two hex digits of any value. This is how Python handles \xNN.

NakedU4

A “naked” Unicode escape of exactly four hex digits. This is used in both JSON, Python, and C.

NakedU8

A “naked” Unicode escape of exactly eight digits. This is used in Python and C.

BracketU16

A bracketed Unicode escape of 1-6 hex digits. This is used in Rust.

BracketU18

A bracketed Unicode escape of 1-8 hex digits with underscores permitted.

BracketUNamed

A bracketed named Unicode escape. These are given by {n}, where n is a name in the Unicode database. See also Name Aliases. The names are not case sensitive.

Discard

Discard. This can be used to join lines; for instance, some standards allow [escape][newline] to join lines together.

DiscardWS

Discard, but also consume whitespace to the first non-whitespace character.
