Class StringValue

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, IClusterable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    EnumeratedType

    public class StringValue
    extends Object
    implements IClusterable
    Holds an immutable String value and optionally a Locale, with methods to convert to various types. Also provides some handy parsing methods and a variety of static factory methods.

    Objects can be constructed directly from Strings or by using the valueOf() static factory methods. The repeat() static factory methods provide a way of generating a String value that repeats a given char or String a number of times.

    Conversions to a wide variety of types can be found in the to*() methods. A generic conversion can be achieved with to(Class).

    The beforeFirst(), afterFirst(), beforeLast() and afterLast() methods are handy for parsing things like paths and filenames.
