Is there a difference between org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml and org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4 ?

StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml("I'm coder") Escapes the characters in a String using HTML entities. For example: "bread" & "butter"
escapeJava. 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' .
In Java, we can use Apache commons-text , StringEscapeUtils. escapeHtml4(str) to escape HTML characters. In the old days, we usually use the Apache commons-lang3 , StringEscapeUtils class to escape HTML, but this class is deprecated as of 3.6.
they come from different packages in fact
escapeHtml comes from org.commons.lang (lang 2.5 API) and let's you use a writer object. It can also escape string from an SQL source
escapeHtml4 is from org.commons.lang3 (lang 3.1 API) is specialy use to escape character from a HTML4 source. Nothing more, nothing less
They do the same job but i would recommend using "escapeHtml4" since its from a newer package
See : EscapeHtml4 and escapehtml

Note that StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml() has issues with apostrophes
