builder

public static LinkExtractor.Builder builder()

extractLinks

public Iterable<LinkSpan> extractLinks(CharSequence input)

Extract the links from the input text. Can be called multiple times with different inputs (thread-safe).

Parameters:

input - the input text, must not be null

Returns:

a lazy iterable for the links in order that they appear in the input, never null

See Also:

• extractSpans to also get spans for the plain text pieces of the input

extractSpans

public Iterable<Span> extractSpans(CharSequence input)

Extract spans from the input text. A span is a substring of the input and represents either a link (see LinkSpan) or plain text outside a link.

Using this is more convenient than extractLinks(CharSequence) if you want to transform the whole input text to a different format.

Parameters:

input - the input text, must not be null

Returns:

a lazy iterable for the spans in order that they appear in the input, never null

trigger

private Scanner trigger(char c)
