## org.apache.commons.jexl2.parser
Class StringParser

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.jexl2.parser.StringParser

Direct Known Subclasses:
  JexlParser

    public class StringParser

extends Object

Common constant strings utilities.

This package methods read JEXL string literals and handle escaping through the 'backslash' (ie: \) character. Escaping is used to neutralize string delimiters (the single and double quotes) and read Unicode hexadecimal encoded characters.

The only escapable characters are the single and double quotes - ''' and '"' -, a Unicode sequence starting with 'u' followed by 4 hexadecimals and the backslash character - '\' - itself.

A sequence where '\' occurs before any non-escapable character or sequence has no effect, the sequence output being the same as the input.

Constructor Summary
`StringParser()` Default constructor.

Method Summary
`static String` | `buildString(CharSequence str, boolean eatsep)` Builds a string, handles escaping through '\' syntax.
`static String` | `escapeString(String str, char delim)` Escapes a String representation, expand non-ASCII characters as Unicode escape sequence.
`static int` | `readString(StringBuilder strb, CharSequence str, int index, char sep)` Read the remainder of a string till a given separator, handles escaping through '\' syntax.

    `str` - the origin
    `index` - the offset into the origin
    `sep` - the separator, single or double quote, marking end of string
  Returns:
    the offset in origin
