PreparedEval
Announcing PreparedEval, prepared statements for generating JavaScript (and the like) from Java. It prepares Java strings for JavaScript evaluation, similar to SQL prepared statements. Saves you from quote escape nightmares! Great for Selenium tests and Rhino JavaScript.
As a follow-up to my post on escaped, quoted strings, Taking the idea of using a different encoding scheme further (and not being super happy about the need to pump the string through unescape()) I thought about interpolation and wondered about prepared statements in SQL. Some quick research turned nothing up, but while chatting with Ola Bini he also mentioned prepared statements, so this convinced me to knock something together that might be useful.

There’s no runtime dependencies so it’s nice and tiny if you just want the JAR.
Let me know if you use if to help with CSS / XPath selectors for Selenium or if you have any suggestions on improving the API.
