34  /**
35   * Builds a string from constituent parts providing a more flexible and powerful API
36   * than StringBuffer.
37   * <p>
38   * The main differences from StringBuffer/StringBuilder are:
39   * </p>
40   * <ul>
41   * <li>Not synchronized</li>
42   * <li>Not final</li>
43   * <li>Subclasses have direct access to character array</li>
44   * <li>Additional methods
45   *  <ul>
46   *   <li>appendWithSeparators - adds an array of values, with a separator</li>
47   *   <li>appendPadding - adds a length padding characters</li>
48   *   <li>appendFixedLength - adds a fixed width field to the builder</li>
49   *   <li>toCharArray/getChars - simpler ways to get a range of the character array</li>
50   *   <li>delete - delete char or string</li>
51   *   <li>replace - search and replace for a char or string</li>
52   *   <li>leftString/rightString/midString - substring without exceptions</li>
53   *   <li>contains - whether the builder contains a char or string</li>
54   *   <li>size/clear/isEmpty - collections style API methods</li>
55   *  </ul>
56   * </li>
57   * <li>Views
58   *  <ul>
59   *   <li>asTokenizer - uses the internal buffer as the source of a StrTokenizer</li>
60   *   <li>asReader - uses the internal buffer as the source of a Reader</li>
61   *   <li>asWriter - allows a Writer to write directly to the internal buffer</li>
62   *  </ul>
63   * </li>
64   * </ul>
65   * <p>
66   * The aim has been to provide an API that mimics very closely what StringBuffer
67   * provides, but with additional methods. It should be noted that some edge cases,
68   * with invalid indices or null input, have been altered - see individual methods.
69   * The biggest of these changes is that by default, null will not output the text
70   * 'null'. This can be controlled by a property, {@link #setNullText(String)}.
71   * </p>
72   * <p>
73   * Prior to 3.0, this class implemented Cloneable but did not implement the
74   * clone method so could not be used. From 3.0 onwards it no longer implements
75   * the interface.
76   * </p>
77   *
78   * @since 2.2
79   * @deprecated As of 3.6, use Apache Commons Text
80   * <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/text/TextStringBuilder.html">
81   * TextStringBuilder</a> instead
