All Implemented Interfaces:

public class StringBuilderWriter
extends Writer
implements Serializable

Writer implementation that outputs to a StringBuilder.

NOTE: This implementation, as an alternative to java.io.StringWriter, provides an un-synchronized (i.e. for use in a single thread) implementation for better performance. For safe usage with multiple Threads then java.io.StringWriter should be used.
