package sun.text.normalizer;

import java.text.CharacterIterator;

Abstract class that defines an API for iteration on text objects.This is an interface for forward and backward iteration and random access into a text object. Forward iteration is done with post-increment and backward iteration is done with pre-decrement semantics, while the java.text.CharacterIterator interface methods provided forward iteration with "pre-increment" and backward iteration with pre-decrement semantics. This API is more efficient for forward iteration over code points. The other major difference is that this API can do both code unit and code point iteration, java.text.CharacterIterator can only iterate over code units and is limited to BMP (0 - 0xFFFF)

Fills the buffer with the underlying text storage of the iterator If the buffer capacity is not enough a exception is thrown. The capacity of the fill in buffer should at least be equal to length of text in the iterator obtained by calling getLength(). Usage:

        char[] buf = new char[iter.getLength()];
        iter.getText(buf);
        OR

Moves the current position by the number of code points specified, either forward or backward depending on the sign of delta (positive or negative respectively).
