Class Join

java.lang.Object
  org.elasticsearch.util.inject.internal.Join

public final class Join
extends java.lang.Object

Utility for joining pieces of text separated by a delimiter. It can handle iterators, collections, arrays, and varargs, and can append to any Appendable or just return a String. For example, join(":", "a", "b", "c") returns "a:b:c".

All methods of this class throw NullPointerException when a value of null is supplied for any parameter. The elements within the collection, iterator, array, or varargs parameter list may be null -- these will be represented in the output by the string "null".

Method Detail

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String delimiter,
                                    java.lang.Iterable<?> tokens)

Returns a string containing the tokens, converted to strings if necessary, separated by delimiter. If tokens is empty, it returns an empty string.

Each token will be converted to a CharSequence using String.valueOf(Object), if it isn't a CharSequence already. Note that this implies that null tokens will be appended as the four-character string "null".

Parameters:

delimiter - a string to append between every element, but not at the beginning or end

tokens - objects to append

Returns:

a string consisting of the joined elements

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String delimiter,
                                    java.lang.Object[] tokens)

Returns a string containing the tokens, converted to strings if necessary, separated by delimiter. If tokens is empty, it returns an empty string.

Each token will be converted to a CharSequence using String.valueOf(Object), if it isn't a CharSequence already. Note that this implies that null tokens will be appended as the four-character string "null".

Parameters:

delimiter - a string to append between every element, but not at the beginning or end

tokens - objects to append

Returns:

a string consisting of the joined elements

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String delimiter,
                                    @Nullable
                                    java.lang.Object firstToken,
                                    java.lang.Object... otherTokens)

Returns a string containing the tokens, converted to strings if necessary, separated by delimiter.

Each token will be converted to a CharSequence using String.valueOf(Object), if it isn't a CharSequence already. Note that this implies that null tokens will be appended as the four-character string "null".

Parameters:

delimiter - a string to append between every element, but not at the beginning or end

firstToken - the first object to append

otherTokens - subsequent objects to append

Returns:

a string consisting of the joined elements

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String delimiter,
                                    java.util.Iterator<?> tokens)

Returns a string containing the tokens, converted to strings if necessary, separated by delimiter. If tokens is empty, it returns an empty string.

Each token will be converted to a CharSequence using String.valueOf(Object), if it isn't a CharSequence already. Note that this implies that null tokens will be appended as the four-character string "null".

Parameters:

delimiter - a string to append between every element, but not at the beginning or end

tokens - objects to append

Returns:

a string consisting of the joined elements

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String keyValueSeparator,
                                    java.lang.String entryDelimiter,
                                    java.util.Map<?,?> map)

Returns a string containing the contents of map, with entries separated by entryDelimiter, and keys and values separated with keyValueSeparator.

Each key and value will be converted to a CharSequence using String.valueOf(Object), if it isn't a CharSequence already. Note that this implies that null tokens will be appended as the four-character string "null".

Parameters:

keyValueSeparator - a string to append between every key and its associated value

entryDelimiter - a string to append between every entry, but not at the beginning or end

map - the map containing the data to join

Returns:

a string consisting of the joined entries of the map; empty if the map is empty
