----------------------------------------
Summary: StringUtils and null
Key: LANG-1324
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1324
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.*
Affects Versions: 3.5
Reporter: abhijith nagarajan
Priority: Trivial
This is more of a question which could lead to a minor improvement. I would
like to know if there was a specific reason to return "null" from method
stripChars, substringsBetween when input is null.
I was always under the impression that Util classes would gracefully handle
null (this is great from commons-lang) and would not return null unless it is
very clear from the method's objective (like stripToNull).
I have the required code change which is small but impact of this change would
be high as we do not know what could break as this library usage is pretty
common in all the java projects.
