> 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
> Labels: question
>
> 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.
