```
@Deprecated
public class Caverphone
extends Object
implements StringEncoder
```
Encodes a string into a Caverphone 2.0 value. Delegate to a Caverphone2 instance. This is an algorithm created by the Caversham Project at the University of Otago. It implements the Caverphone 2.0 algorithm:

public String caverphone(String source)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Encodes the given String into a Caverphone value.
    
    Parameters:
    source - String the source string
    
    Returns:
    A caverphone code for the given String
  - encode
```
public Object encode(Object obj)
              throws EncoderException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Encodes an Object using the caverphone algorithm. This method is provided in order to satisfy the requirements of the Encoder interface, and will throw an EncoderException if the supplied object is not of type java.lang.String.
    
    Specified by:
    
    encode in interface Encoder
    
    Parameters:
    obj - Object to encode
    
    Returns:
    An object (or type java.lang.String) containing the caverphone code which corresponds to the String supplied.
    
    Throws:
    
    EncoderException - if the parameter supplied is not of type java.lang.String
  - encode
```
public String encode(String str)

    Deprecated.
    
    Encodes a String using the Caverphone algorithm.
    
    Specified by:
    
    encode in interface StringEncoder
    
    Parameters:
    str - String object to encode
    
    Returns:
    The caverphone code corresponding to the String supplied

public boolean isCaverphoneEqual(String str1,
                        String str2)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Tests if the caverphones of two strings are identical.
    
    Parameters:
    str1 - First of two strings to compare
    str2 - Second of two strings to compare
    
    Returns:
    true if the caverphones of these strings are identical, false otherwise.
