public class SequenceEncoder

extends java.lang.Object

Encodes a sequence of Strings into a single String with a given delimiter. Escapes the delimiter character if it occurs in the element strings. This is a very handy class for storing structured data into flat text and quite a bit faster than parsing an XML document. For example, a structure such as {A,{B,C}} can be encoded with

 new SequenceEncoder("A",',').append(new SequenceEncoder("B",',').append("C").getValue()).getValue()
 

which returns A,B\,C and then extracted with

 SequenceEncoder.Decoder st = new SequenceEncoder.Decoder("A,B\,C",',');
 String A = st.nextToken();
 SequenceEncoder.Decoder BC = new SequenceEncoder.Decoder(st.nextToken(),',');
 String B = BC.nextToken();
 String C = BC.nextToken();
