## Usage

[More Examples](src/test.rs)

```rust

fn main() {

	assert_eq!(unescaper::unescape(r"\u000a").unwrap(), "\n");

	assert_eq!(unescaper::unescape(r"\u{a}").unwrap(), "\n");

	assert_eq!(unescaper::unescape(r"\x0a").unwrap(), "\n");

	assert_eq!(unescaper::unescape(r"\12").unwrap(), "\n");

}

```

## Thanks

The idea comes from [unescape-rs](https://github.com/saghm/unescape-rs).


The last commit of that repository was seven years ago.


So, I think it is no longer maintained.


That's why I created this repository, and I have made some improvements.
