        System.out.println(replaceEscapeSequence(input));

    public static String replaceEscapeSequence(String input) {
        String output = null;
        if (input != null) {
            output = input.replaceAll("&lt;", "<");
            output = output.replaceAll("&gt;", ">");
            output = output.replaceAll("&amp;", "&");
            output = output.replaceAll("&apos;", "??");
            output = output.replaceAll("&quot;", "\"");
