well known project for dealing with text in java. Very widely used in java.

Apache Commons Text is a library focused on algorithms working on strings. It provides additions to the standard JDK's text handling. It has, amongst other classes, a replacement for StringBuffer named StrBuilder, a class for substituting variables within a String named StrSubstitutor and a replacement for StringTokenizer named StrTokenizer. Beyond the text utilities ported over from lang, it has also included various string similarity and distance functions. Lastly, there are also utilities for addressing differences between bodies of text for the sake of viewing these differences.
