/**
 * 

Operations on {@link java.lang.String} that are * {@code null} safe.

* *
    *
  • IsEmpty/IsBlank * - checks if a String contains text
  • *
  • Trim/Strip * - removes leading and trailing whitespace
  • *
  • Equals * - compares two strings null-safe
  • *
  • startsWith * - check if a String starts with a prefix null-safe
  • *
  • endsWith * - check if a String ends with a suffix null-safe
  • *
  • IndexOf/LastIndexOf/Contains * - null-safe index-of checks *
  • IndexOfAny/LastIndexOfAny/IndexOfAnyBut/LastIndexOfAnyBut * - index-of any of a set of Strings
  • *
  • ContainsOnly/ContainsNone/ContainsAny * - does String contains only/none/any of these characters
  • *
  • Substring/Left/Right/Mid * - null-safe substring extractions
  • *
  • SubstringBefore/SubstringAfter/SubstringBetween * - substring extraction relative to other strings
  • *
  • Split/Join * - splits a String into an array of substrings and vice versa
  • *
  • Remove/Delete * - removes part of a String
  • *
  • Replace/Overlay * - Searches a String and replaces one String with another
  • *
  • Chomp/Chop * - removes the last part of a String
  • *
  • AppendIfMissing * - appends a suffix to the end of the String if not present
  • *
  • PrependIfMissing * - prepends a prefix to the start of the String if not present
  • *
  • LeftPad/RightPad/Center/Repeat * - pads a String
  • *
  • UpperCase/LowerCase/SwapCase/Capitalize/Uncapitalize * - changes the case of a String
  • *
  • CountMatches * - counts the number of occurrences of one String in another
  • *
  • IsAlpha/IsNumeric/IsWhitespace/IsAsciiPrintable * - checks the characters in a String
  • *
  • DefaultString * - protects against a null input String
  • *
  • Reverse/ReverseDelimited * - reverses a String
  • *
  • Abbreviate * - abbreviates a string using ellipsis
  • *
  • Difference * - compares Strings and reports on their differences
  • *
  • LevenshteinDistance * - the number of changes needed to change one String into another
  • *
* *

The {@code Strings} class defines certain words related to * String handling.

* *
    *
  • null - {@code null}
  • *
  • empty - a zero-length string ({@code ""})
  • *
  • space - the space character ({@code ' '}, char 32)
  • *
  • whitespace - the characters defined by {@link Character#isWhitespace(char)}
  • *
  • trim - the characters <= 32 as in {@link String#trim()}
  • *
* *

{@code Strings} handles {@code null} input Strings quietly. * That is to say that a {@code null} input will return {@code null}. * Where a {@code boolean} or {@code int} is being returned * details vary by method.

* *

A side effect of the {@code null} handling is that a * {@code NullPointerException} should be considered a bug in * {@code Strings}.

* *

Methods in this class give sample code to explain their operation. * The symbol {@code *} is used to indicate any input including {@code null}.
