//
// This file defines `absl::StrReplaceAll()`, a general-purpose string
// replacement function designed for large, arbitrary text substitutions,
// especially on strings which you are receiving from some other system for
// further processing (e.g. processing regular expressions, escaping HTML
// entities, etc.). `StrReplaceAll` is designed to be efficient even when only
// one substitution is being performed, or when substitution is rare.
//
// If the string being modified is known at compile-time, and the substitutions
// vary, `absl::Substitute()` may be a better choice.
//
// Example:
//
// std::string html_escaped = absl::StrReplaceAll(user_input, {
//                                                {"&", "&"},
//                                                {"<", "&lt;"},
//                                                {">", "&gt;"},
//                                                {"\"", "&quot;"},
//                                                {"'", "&#39;"}});
