33  /**
34   * Substitutes variables within a string by values.
35   * <p>
36   * This class takes a piece of text and substitutes all the variables within it. The default definition of a variable is
37   * {@code ${variableName}}. The prefix and suffix can be changed via constructors and set methods.
38   * </p>
39   * <p>
40   * Variable values are typically resolved from a map, but could also be resolved from system properties, or by supplying
41   * a custom variable resolver.
42   * </p>
43   * <h2>Using System Properties</h2>
44   * <p>
45   * The simplest example is to use this class to replace Java System properties. For example:
46   * </p>
47   *
48   * <pre>
49   * StringSubstitutor
50   *     .replaceSystemProperties("You are running with java.version = ${java.version} and os.name = ${os.name}.");
51   * </pre>
52   *
53   * <h2>Using a Custom Map</h2>
54   * <p>
55   * Typical usage of this class follows the following pattern:
56   * </p>
57   * <ul>
58   * <li>Create and initialize a StringSubstitutor with the map that contains the values for the variables you want to
59   * make available.</li>
60   * <li>Optionally set attributes like variable prefix, variable suffix, default value delimiter, and so on.</li>
61   * <li>Call the {@code replace()} method with in the source text for interpolation.</li>
62   * <li>The returned text contains all variable references (as long as their values are known) as resolved.</li>
63   * </ul>
64   * <p>
65   * For example:
66   * </p>
67   *
68   * <pre>
69   * // Build map
70   * Map&lt;String, String&gt; valuesMap = new HashMap&lt;&gt;();
71   * valuesMap.put(&quot;animal&quot;, &quot;quick brown fox&quot;);
72   * valuesMap.put(&quot;target&quot;, &quot;lazy dog&quot;);
73   * String templateString = &quot;The ${animal} jumped over the ${target}.&quot;;
74   *
75   * // Build StringSubstitutor
76   * StringSubstitutor sub = new StringSubstitutor(valuesMap);
77   *
78   * // Replace
79   * String resolvedString = sub.replace(templateString);
80   * </pre>
81   *
82   * <p>
83   * yielding:
84   * </p>
85   *
86   * <pre>
87   * "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
88   * </pre>
89   *
90   * <h2>Providing Default Values</h2>
91   * <p>
92   * You can set a default value for unresolved variables. The default value for a variable can be appended to the
93   * variable name after the variable default value delimiter. The default value of the variable default value delimiter
94   * is ":-", as in bash and other *nix shells.
95   * </p>
96   * <p>
97   * You can set the variable value delimiter with {@link #setValueDelimiterMatcher(StringMatcher)},
98   * {@link #setValueDelimiter(char)} or {@link #setValueDelimiter(String)}.
99   * </p>
100  * <p>
101  * For example:
102  * </p>
103  *
104  * <pre>
105  * // Build map
106  * Map&lt;String, String&gt; valuesMap = new HashMap&lt;&gt;();
107  * valuesMap.put(&quot;animal&quot;, &quot;quick brown fox&quot;);
108  * valuesMap.put(&quot;target&quot;, &quot;lazy dog&quot;);
109  * String templateString = &quot;The ${animal} jumped over the ${target} ${undefined.number:-1234567890} times.&quot;;
110  *
111  * // Build StringSubstitutor
112  * StringSubstitutor sub = new StringSubstitutor(valuesMap);
113  *
114  * // Replace
115  * String resolvedString = sub.replace(templateString);
116  * </pre>
117  *
118  * <p>
119  * yielding:
120  * </p>
121  *
122  * <pre>
123  * "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog 1234567890 times."
124  * </pre>
125  *
126  * <p>
127  * {@code StringSubstitutor} supports throwing exceptions for unresolved variables, you enable this by setting calling
128  * {@link #setEnableUndefinedVariableException(boolean)} with {@code true}.
129  * </p>
130  *
131  * <h2>Reusing Instances</h2>
132  * <p>
133  * Static shortcut methods cover the most common use cases. If multiple replace operations are to be performed, creating
134  * and reusing an instance of this class will be more efficient.
135  * </p>
136  *
137  * <h2>Using Interpolation</h2>
138  * <p>
139  * The default interpolator lets you use string lookups like:
140  * </p>
141  *
142  * <pre>
143  * final StringSubstitutor interpolator = StringSubstitutor.createInterpolator();
144  * final String text = interpolator.replace(
145  *       "Base64 Decoder:        ${base64Decoder:SGVsbG9Xb3JsZCE=}\n"
146  *     + "Base64 Encoder:        ${base64Encoder:HelloWorld!}\n"
147  *     + "Java Constant:         ${const:java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE}\n"
148  *     + "Date:                  ${date:yyyy-MM-dd}\n"
149  *     + "Environment Variable:  ${env:USERNAME}\n"
150  *     + "File Content:          ${file:UTF-8:src/test/resources/document.properties}\n"
151  *     + "Java:                  ${java:version}\n"
152  *     + "Localhost:             ${localhost:canonical-name}\n"
153  *     + "Properties File:       ${properties:src/test/resources/document.properties::mykey}\n"
154  *     + "Resource Bundle:       ${resourceBundle:org.apache.commons.text.example.testResourceBundleLookup:mykey}\n"
155  *     + "System Property:       ${sys:user.dir}\n"
156  *     + "URL Decoder:           ${urlDecoder:Hello%20World%21}\n"
157  *     + "URL Encoder:           ${urlEncoder:Hello World!}\n"
158  *     + "XML XPath:             ${xml:src/test/resources/document.xml:/root/path/to/node}\n");
159  * </pre>
160  * <p>
161  * For documentation and a full list of available lookups, see {@link StringLookupFactory}.
162  * </p>
163  * <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The list of lookups available by default in {@link #createInterpolator()} changed
164  * in version {@code 1.10.0}. See the {@link StringLookupFactory} documentation for details and an explanation
165  * on how to reproduce the previous functionality.
166  * </p>
167  *
168  * <h2>Using Recursive Variable Replacement</h2>
169  * <p>
170  * Variable replacement can work recursively by calling {@link #setEnableSubstitutionInVariables(boolean)} with
171  * {@code true}. If a variable value contains a variable then that variable will also be replaced. Cyclic replacements
172  * are detected and will throw an exception.
173  * </p>
174  * <p>
175  * You can get the replace result to contain a variable prefix. For example:
176  * </p>
177  *
178  * <pre>
179  * "The variable ${${name}} must be used."
180  * </pre>
181  *
182  * <p>
183  * If the value of the "name" variable is "x", then only the variable "name" is replaced resulting in:
184  * </p>
185  *
186  * <pre>
187  * "The variable ${x} must be used."
188  * </pre>
189  *
190  * <p>
191  * To achieve this effect there are two possibilities: Either set a different prefix and suffix for variables which do
192  * not conflict with the result text you want to produce. The other possibility is to use the escape character, by
193  * default '$'. If this character is placed before a variable reference, this reference is ignored and won't be
194  * replaced. For example:
195  * </p>
196  *
197  * <pre>
198  * "The variable $${${name}} must be used."
199  * </pre>
200  * <p>
201  * In some complex scenarios you might even want to perform substitution in the names of variables, for instance
202  * </p>
203  *
204  * <pre>
205  * ${jre-${java.specification.version}}
206  * </pre>
207  *
208  * <p>
209  * {@code StringSubstitutor} supports this recursive substitution in variable names, but it has to be enabled explicitly
210  * by calling {@link #setEnableSubstitutionInVariables(boolean)} with {@code true}.
211  * </p>
212  *
213  * <h2>Thread Safety</h2>
214  * <p>
215  * This class is <strong>not</strong> thread safe.
