    - #### isLowerCaseNames

          public boolean isLowerCaseNames()

      Returns `true` if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed.
      Returns:
        `true` if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed. Otherwise returns `false`

    - #### setLowerCaseNames

          public void setLowerCaseNames(boolean b)

      Sets the flag if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed.
      Parameters:
        `b` - `true` if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed. `false` otherwise.

    - #### parse

          public Map<String,String> parse(String str,
                                          char[] separators)

      Extracts a map of name/value pairs from the given string. Names are expected to be unique. Multiple separators may be specified and the earliest found in the input string is used.
      Parameters:
        `str` - the string that contains a sequence of name/value pairs

      Returns:
        a map of name/value pairs

    - #### parse

          public Map<String,String> parse(char[] charArray,
                                          char separator)

      Extracts a map of name/value pairs from the given array of characters. Names are expected to be unique.
      Parameters:
        `charArray` - the array of characters that contains a sequence of name/value pairs
        `separator` - the name/value pairs separator
      Returns:
        a map of name/value pairs

    - #### parse

          public Map<String,String> parse(char[] charArray,

      Extracts a map of name/value pairs from the given array of characters. Names are expected to be unique.
      Parameters:
        `charArray` - the array of characters that contains a sequence of name/value pairs
        `offset` - - the initial offset.
        `length` - - the length.
