Jackson 3.0.0 default for JsonWriteFeature.ESCAPE_FORWARD_SLASHES

[cowtowncoder]

(part of #72 uber-Discussion; spawn off #91; possibly undoing FasterXML/jackson-core#1200)

As of Jackson 2.x, JsonWriteFeature.ESCAPE_FORWARD_SLASHES defaults to false for backwards-compatibility.
An issue was filed:

FasterXML/jackson-core#1200

to change it to true instead, for:

1. Safer handling of HTML content in JSON,
2. To work similar to other libraries (namely, GSON)

and was already implemented.

However: since Release Candidate releases, increased user testing, concerns have been raised about this change -- specifically so that this change should be rolled back.

Let's see what community thinks here: we can still change the default for 3.0.0-rc7 (and 3.0.0 final)

Definitely looks like we are heading for undoing this change... will let some more votes come in yet tho.

the most number of votes we've had

[cowtowncoder]

Yeah, doubled. Safe to say this will be reverted, once I have time (there will probably be some test changes to other repos).

[cowtowncoder]

Decision: WILL REVERT default change.

Ok thanks a lot, will check with snapshots tomorrow morning first thing.

3.0.0-rc8-SNAPSHOT works as expected.

I am going to do an extra check and test Jackson 2.20.0-rc1 with Spring Boot 4 build in addition to Spring Framework 7. Will share the result here once done.

[sdeleuze]

Jackson 2.20.0-rc1 works fine with Spring Boot 4, all good.

Great!
