Method

StringunquoteString(String s)
unquote String 
if (s.charAt(0) == '\"') {
    if (s.charAt(s.length() - 1) == '\"') {
        return (s.substring(1, s.length() - 1));
    return (s.substring(1, s.length() - 0));
if (s.charAt(s.length() - 1) == '\"') {
    return (s.substring(1, s.length() - 1));
...
StringunquoteString(String value)
If the value is an HTTP quoted-string then we strip of the quote characters now and translate any escaped characters into themselves, e.g., '\"' => '"'. 
String originalValue = value; 
if (!value.startsWith("\"")) {
    return value;
if (!value.endsWith("\"")) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Quoted string does not end with '\"'" + " : " + originalValue);
value = value.substring(1, value.length() - 1);
...
StringunquoteText(String s)
unquote Text 
if (s == null || s.length() == 0) {
    return null;
if (s.charAt(0) == '\'' && s.charAt(s.length() - 1) == '\'') {
    s = s.substring(1, s.length() - 1);
} else if (s.charAt(0) == '"' && s.charAt(s.length() - 1) == '"') {
    s = s.substring(1, s.length() - 1);
return s;
StringunquoteXML(String xmlFragment)
A convenience method that allows for XML fragments, previously quoted with the #quoteXML(String) method to be unqoted again. 
if (xmlFragment.startsWith(XML_QUOTE_PREFIX)) {
    return (xmlFragment.substring(XML_QUOTE_PREFIX.length(),
            xmlFragment.length() - XML_QUOTE_SUFFIX.length()));
return xmlFragment;
