- ## Constructor Details

  - ### Builder

    public Builder()
    Creates a new, uninitialized instance of `Builder`. All symbols are undefined.

  - ### Builder

    public Builder(DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols c)
    Creates a new instance of `Builder` whose properties are initialized from the passed in `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` object. This is useful if symbols are to be created which are similar to the passed in instance.
    Parameters:
      `c` - the `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` object serving as starting point for this builder

- ## Method Details

  - ### setPropertyDelimiter

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setPropertyDelimiter(String propertyDelimiter)
    Sets the string representing a delimiter for properties.
    Parameters:
      `propertyDelimiter` - the property delimiter
    Returns:
      a reference to this object for method chaining

  - ### setEscapedDelimiter

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setEscapedDelimiter(String escapedDelimiter)
    Sets the string representing an escaped property delimiter. With this string a delimiter that belongs to the key of a property can be escaped. If for instance "." is used as property delimiter, you can set the escaped delimiter to "\." and can then escape the delimiter with a back slash.
    Parameters:
      `escapedDelimiter` - the escaped property delimiter
    Returns:
      a reference to this object for method chaining

  - ### setIndexStart

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setIndexStart(String is)
    Sets the string representing the start of an index in a property key. Index start and end marker are used together to detect indices in a property key.
    Parameters:
      `is` - the index start
    Returns:
      a reference to this object for method chaining

  - ### setIndexEnd

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setIndexEnd(String indexEnd)
    Sets the string representing the end of an index in a property key.
    Parameters:
      `indexEnd` - the index end
    Returns:
      a reference to this object for method chaining

  - ### setAttributeStart

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setAttributeStart(String attributeStart)
    Sets the string representing the start marker of an attribute in a property key. Attribute start and end marker are used together to detect attributes in a property key.
    Parameters:
      `attributeStart` - the attribute start marker
    Returns:
      a reference to this object for method chaining

  - ### setAttributeEnd

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols.Builder setAttributeEnd(String attributeEnd)
    Sets the string representing the end marker of an attribute in a property key.
    Parameters:
      `attributeEnd` - the attribute end marker
    Returns:
      a reference to this object for method chaining

  - ### create

    public DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols create()
    Creates the `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` instance based on the properties set for this builder object. This method does not change the state of this builder. So it is possible to change properties and create another `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` instance.
    Returns:
      the newly created `DefaultExpressionEngineSymbols` instance
