    the value rendered in its SPARQL query string representation
  - toSPARQL

public static StringBuilder toSPARQL(Value value,
                                     StringBuilder builder)
```
    Append the SPARQL query string rendering of the Value to the supplied StringBuilder.

    value - the value to render
    
    builder - the StringBuilder to append to

  - escape
```
public static String escape(String theString)
```
    Properly escape out any special characters in the query string. Replaces unescaped double quotes with \" and replaces slashes '\' which are not a valid escape sequence such as \t or \n with a double slash '\\' so they are unescaped correctly by a SPARQL parser.
    
    Parameters:
    
    theString - the query string to escape chars in
    
    Returns:
    
    the escaped query string
