      • toLowerCase

        public static char toLowerCase​(char c)
        Convert the input to lowercase.

        This method does not honor the JVM locale, but instead always behaves as though it is in the US-ASCII locale. Only characters in the range 'A' through 'Z' are converted. All other characters are left as-is, even if they otherwise would have a lowercase character equivalent.

        Parameters:
        c - the input character.
        Returns:
        lowercase version of the input.
      • toLowerCase

        public static java.lang.String toLowerCase​(java.lang.String in)
        Convert the input string to lower case, according to the "C" locale.

        This method does not honor the JVM locale, but instead always behaves as though it is in the US-ASCII locale. Only characters in the range 'A' through 'Z' are converted, all other characters are left as-is, even if they otherwise would have a lowercase character equivalent.

        Parameters:
        in - the input string. Must not be null.
        Returns:
        a copy of the input string, after converting characters in the range 'A'..'Z' to 'a'..'z'.
      • capitalize

        public static java.lang.String capitalize​(java.lang.String str)
        Borrowed from commons-lang StringUtils.capitalize() method.

        Capitalizes a String changing the first letter to title case as per Character.toTitleCase(char). No other letters are changed.

        A null input String returns null.

        Parameters:
        str - the String to capitalize, may be null
        Returns:
        the capitalized String, null if null String input

        Test if two strings are equal, ignoring case.

        This method does not honor the JVM locale, but instead always behaves as though it is in the US-ASCII locale.

        Parameters:

        b - second string to compare.
        Returns:
        true if a equals b

        Parameters:
        a - first string to compare.
        b - second string to compare.
        Returns:
        an int.
        Since:
