Introducing Apache Commons Text
summary
Apache Commons Text packages reusable text utilities pulled out of Commons Lang and new algorithms: StringSubstitutor, string escape utils, StrBuilder/FormattableUtils/StringTokenizer and planned WordUtils and a random string generator. It ships similarity and distance implementations (Longest Common Subsequence with O(m·n) cost, Levenshtein, Hamming, Cosine, Jaro/Jaro-Winkler), a Myers-based diff, and JSON/Java/ECMA escapers (note ECMA escapes can break HTML). Unicode surrogate pairs are handled following Java string semantics to support non-BMP characters.
