034/**
035 * Builds a string from constituent parts providing a more flexible and powerful API
036 * than StringBuffer.
037 * <p>
038 * The main differences from StringBuffer/StringBuilder are:
039 * </p>
040 * <ul>
041 * <li>Not synchronized</li>
042 * <li>Not final</li>
043 * <li>Subclasses have direct access to character array</li>
044 * <li>Additional methods
045 *  <ul>
046 *   <li>appendWithSeparators - adds an array of values, with a separator</li>
047 *   <li>appendPadding - adds a length padding characters</li>
048 *   <li>appendFixedLength - adds a fixed width field to the builder</li>
049 *   <li>toCharArray/getChars - simpler ways to get a range of the character array</li>
050 *   <li>delete - delete char or string</li>
051 *   <li>replace - search and replace for a char or string</li>
052 *   <li>leftString/rightString/midString - substring without exceptions</li>
053 *   <li>contains - whether the builder contains a char or string</li>
054 *   <li>size/clear/isEmpty - collections style API methods</li>
055 *  </ul>
056 * </li>
057 * <li>Views
058 *  <ul>
059 *   <li>asTokenizer - uses the internal buffer as the source of a StrTokenizer</li>
060 *   <li>asReader - uses the internal buffer as the source of a Reader</li>
061 *   <li>asWriter - allows a Writer to write directly to the internal buffer</li>
062 *  </ul>
063 * </li>
064 * </ul>
065 * <p>
066 * The aim has been to provide an API that mimics very closely what StringBuffer
067 * provides, but with additional methods. It should be noted that some edge cases,
068 * with invalid indices or null input, have been altered - see individual methods.
069 * The biggest of these changes is that by default, null will not output the text
070 * 'null'. This can be controlled by a property, {@link #setNullText(String)}.
071 * </p>
072 * <p>
073 * Prior to 3.0, this class implemented Cloneable but did not implement the
074 * clone method so could not be used. From 3.0 onwards it no longer implements
075 * the interface.
076 * </p>
077 *
078 * @since 2.2
079 * @deprecated As of 3.6, use Apache Commons Text
080 * <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/text/TextStringBuilder.html">
081 * TextStringBuilder</a> instead
