We upgraded our Java application from es 0.17.8 to 0.18.6 and quickly  
realized that the safeJsonBuilder is not part of the 0.18.x  
XContentFactory API. Our application is currently using this method.  
Is there a replacement for it or is the json builder always safe now?

jsonBuilder is refactored. I think you can use it.
