text property

String text

The contents of the string.

For quoted strings, this is the semantic content—any escape sequences that were been written in the source text are resolved to their Unicode values. For unquoted strings, though, escape sequences are preserved as literal backslashes.

This difference allows us to distinguish between identifiers with escapes, such as url\u28 http://example.com\u29, and unquoted strings that contain characters that aren't valid in identifiers, such as url(http://example.com). Unfortunately, it also means that we don't consider foo and f\6F\6F the same string.

Implementation

String get text => _text;
