The standard Java libraries fail to provide enough methods for
|
|
manipulation of its core classes. The <em>Lang</em> Component provides
|
|
these extra methods.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <em>Lang</em> Component provides a host of helper utilities for the java.lang API, notably
|
|
String manipulation methods, basic numerical methods, object reflection, creation and serialization,
|
|
and System properties. Additionally it contains an inheritable enum type, an exception structure that
|
|
supports multiple types of nested-Exceptions, basic enhancements to java.util.Date and a series of utlities dedicated to help with
|
|
building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals.
