Description
String#substring
creates a "view" onto the original string backed by the same byte[]
. It would be nice if more of the extracted strings could just be views backed by the original full input.
The difficulty is that String
internally uses byte[]
not char[]
(any longer). Also it is not possible to wrap an existing char[]
or byte[]
into a String
instance without copying it entirely or a section of it. This means most likely sharing can only be done by changing from String
to CharSequence
in the places that expose shared content.
