StringBuilderWriter (Groovy 4.0.15)

Package: org.apache.groovy.io

## [Java] Class StringBuilderWriter

- org.apache.groovy.io.StringBuilderWriter

- All Implemented Interfaces and Traits:
    Serializable

      public class StringBuilderWriter
      extends Writer
      implements Serializable

  Copied from https://github.com/apache/commons-io/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/io/output/StringBuilderWriter.java Writer implementation that outputs to a StringBuilder.

  NOTE: This implementation, as an alternative to `java.io.StringWriter`, provides an un-synchronized (i.e. for use in a single thread) implementation for better performance. For safe usage with multiple Threads then `java.io.StringWriter` should be used.

  Since:
    2.0

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### public StringBuilderWriter()

      Constructs a new StringBuilder instance with default capacity.

    - #### public StringBuilderWriter(int capacity)

      Constructs a new StringBuilder instance with the specified capacity.

      Parameters:
        `capacity` - The initial capacity of the underlying StringBuilder

    - #### public StringBuilderWriter(StringBuilder builder)

      Constructs a new instance with the specified StringBuilder.

      If `builder` is null a new instance with default capacity will be created.

      Parameters:
        `builder` - The String builder. May be null.

  - ### Method Detail
