Escaping characters

There are some characters that developers are well accustomed to having to escape. They vary by programming environment, but often include any one of these characters: " ' , { } * < \ / etc.

Escaping in metadata

Other than escaping enclosing quote characters (with \), there's not much to do.

{
    id: 'button',
    type: 'action',
    component: 'Button',
    content: {
        id: 'myapp.mycomponent.someID',

    },
}

defaultMessage = " 1 '<' 3" // 1 < 3

defaultMessage = " Escaping an argument '{foo}'" // {foo}

defaultMessage = "'{'" // {
