org.apache.commons.geometry.io.core.internal.SimpleTextParser

public class SimpleTextParser
extends Object

Class providing basic text parsing capabilities. The goals of this class are to (1) provide a simple, flexible API for performing common text parsing operations and (2) provide a mechanism for creating consistent and informative parsing errors. This class is not intended as a replacement for grammar-based parsers and/or lexers.
