CharSequenceConsumer

All Known Implementing Classes:

FastStringBuffer, StringValue.Builder
```
public interface CharSequenceConsumer
```
Interface that accepts a string in the form of a sequence of CharSequences, which are conceptually concatenated (though in some implementations, the final string may never be materialized in memory)

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default CharSequenceConsumer`	`cat(char c)`	Process a single character.
`CharSequenceConsumer`	`cat(java.lang.CharSequence chars)`	Process a supplied character sequence
`default void`	`close()`	Complete the writing of characters to the result.
`default void`	`open()`	Initial processing.

- Method Detail
  - open
```
default void open()
           throws XPathException
```
    Initial processing. This should be called before any calls on append. Default implementation does nothing.
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if processing fails for any reason
  - cat
```
CharSequenceConsumer cat(java.lang.CharSequence chars)
                  throws XPathException
```
    Process a supplied character sequence
    
    Parameters:
    
    chars - the characters to be processed
    
    Returns:
    
    this CharSequenceConsumer (to allow method chaining)
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if processing fails for any reason
  - cat
```
default CharSequenceConsumer cat(char c)
                          throws XPathException
```
    Process a single character. The default implementation invokes cat(CharSequence).
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the character to be processed
    
    Returns:
    
    this CharSequenceConsumer
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if processing fails for any reason
  - close
```
default void close()
            throws XPathException
```
    Complete the writing of characters to the result. The default implementation does nothing.
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if processing fails for any reason
