I've been tasked with updating our code from using org.apache.commons.lang to org.apache.commons.lang3 and I've found that the newer version of StringEscapeUtils no longer has the method escapeJavaScript() however we were using this in quite a few places throughout our code.
I've been reading through the documentation and it seems that the whole of StringEscapeUtils was rewritten for lang3 (see release notes lang 3.3.2) and with this rewrite they removed escapeJavaScript() however they haven't said what to use as an alternative in any of their documentation (Not that I can see anyway). Here's the what's new documentation.
So my question is I can't be the only one to have noticed this and experienced this issue so what is the alternative to using StringEscapeUtils.escapeJavaScript()?

@user3871754 No, it is deprecated in the org. apache.
escapeJava. public static String escapeJava(String str) Escapes the characters in a String using Java String rules. Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.) So a tab becomes the characters '\\' and 't' .
Use: StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml("I'm coder") Escapes the characters in a String using HTML entities. For example: "bread" & "butter"
Either of escapeEcmaScript or escapeJson would be a suitable replacement.
