## Class CaseUtils

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.text.CaseUtils

-     public class CaseUtils
      extends Object

  Case manipulation operations on Strings that contain words.

  This class tries to handle `null` input gracefully. An exception will not be thrown for a `null` input. Each method documents its behaviour in more detail.

  Since:
    1.2

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CaseUtils

          public CaseUtils()

      `CaseUtils` instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as `CaseUtils.toCamelCase("foo bar", true, new char[]{'-'});`.

      This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### toCamelCase

          public static String toCamelCase(String str,
                                           boolean capitalizeFirstLetter,
                                           char... delimiters)

      Converts all the delimiter separated words in a String into camelCase, that is each word is made up of a titlecase character and then a series of lowercase characters.

      The delimiters represent a set of characters understood to separate words. The first non-delimiter character after a delimiter will be capitalized. The first String character may or may not be capitalized and it's determined by the user input for capitalizeFirstLetter variable.

      A `null` input String returns `null`. Capitalization uses the Unicode title case, normally equivalent to upper case and cannot perform locale-sensitive mappings.

           CaseUtils.toCamelCase(null, false)                                 = null
           CaseUtils.toCamelCase("", false, *)                                = ""
           CaseUtils.toCamelCase(*, false, null)                              = *
           CaseUtils.toCamelCase(*, true, new char[0])                        = *
           CaseUtils.toCamelCase("To.Camel.Case", false, new char[]{'.'})     = "toCamelCase"
           CaseUtils.toCamelCase(" to @ Camel case", true, new char[]{'@'})   = "ToCamelCase"
           CaseUtils.toCamelCase(" @to @ Camel case", false, new char[]{'@'}) = "toCamelCase"

      Parameters:
        `str` - the String to be converted to camelCase, may be null
        `capitalizeFirstLetter` - boolean that determines if the first character of first word should be title case.
        `delimiters` - set of characters to determine capitalization, null and/or empty array means whitespace
      Returns:
        camelCase of String, `null` if null String input
