- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Builder

          public Builder()

      Creates a new, uninitialized instance of `Builder`. All symbols are undefined.

    - #### Builder

          public Builder(DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols c)

      Creates a new instance of `Builder` whose properties are initialized from the passed in `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` object. This is useful if symbols are to be created which are similar to the passed in instance.
      Parameters:
        `c` - the `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` object serving as starting point for this builder

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setPropertyDelimiter

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setPropertyDelimiter(String d)

      Sets the string representing a delimiter for properties.
      Parameters:
        `d` - the property delimiter
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setEscapedDelimiter

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setEscapedDelimiter(String ed)

      Sets the string representing an escaped property delimiter. With this string a delimiter that belongs to the key of a property can be escaped. If for instance "." is used as property delimiter, you can set the escaped delimiter to "\." and can then escape the delimiter with a back slash.
      Parameters:
        `ed` - the escaped property delimiter
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setIndexStart

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setIndexStart(String is)

      Sets the string representing the start of an index in a property key. Index start and end marker are used together to detect indices in a property key.
      Parameters:
        `is` - the index start
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setIndexEnd

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setIndexEnd(String ie)

      Sets the string representing the end of an index in a property key.
      Parameters:
        `ie` - the index end
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setAttributeStart

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setAttributeStart(String as)

      Sets the string representing the start marker of an attribute in a property key. Attribute start and end marker are used together to detect attributes in a property key.
      Parameters:
        `as` - the attribute start marker
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setAttributeEnd

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setAttributeEnd(String ae)

      Sets the string representing the end marker of an attribute in a property key.
      Parameters:
        `ae` - the attribute end marker
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### create

          public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols create()

      Creates the `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` instance based on the properties set for this builder object. This method does not change the state of this builder. So it is possible to change properties and create another `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` instance.
      Returns:
        the newly created `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` instance
