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