commons工具集——StringUtils

StringUtils提供了以下的特性方法，所有的方法都是null安全和线程安全的：

• IsEmpty/IsBlank - checks if a String contains text

空白检测。empty指的是空字符串，即长度为0；blank指的是空白字符串，长度不一定为0，有可能包含空白符或制表符。

1. StringUtils.isEmpty(null)      = true  
2. StringUtils.isEmpty("")        = true  
3. StringUtils.isEmpty(" ")       = false  
4. StringUtils.isEmpty("bob")     = false  
5. StringUtils.isEmpty("  bob  ") = false  

[java]  view plain copy

1. StringUtils.isBlank(null)      = true  
2. StringUtils.isBlank("")        = true  
3. StringUtils.isBlank(" ")       = true  
4. StringUtils.isBlank("bob")     = false  
5. StringUtils.isBlank("  bob  ") = false
