Convert the input to lowercase.

This method does not honor the JVM locale, but instead always behaves as though it is in the US-ASCII locale. Only characters in the range 'A' through 'Z' are converted. All other characters are left as-is, even if they otherwise would have a lowercase character equivalent.

Params:
  • c – the input character.
Returns:lowercase version of the input.

Convert the input string to lower case, according to the "C" locale.

This method does not honor the JVM locale, but instead always behaves as though it is in the US-ASCII locale. Only characters in the range 'A' through 'Z' are converted, all other characters are left as-is, even if they otherwise would have a lowercase character equivalent.

Params:
  • in – the input string. Must not be null.
Returns:a copy of the input string, after converting characters in the range 'A'..'Z' to 'a'..'z'.

Borrowed from commons-lang StringUtils.capitalize() method.

Capitalizes a String changing the first letter to title case as per Character.toTitleCase(char). No other letters are changed.

A null input String returns null.

Parse a string as a standard Git boolean value. See toBooleanOrNull(String).

Parse a string as a standard Git boolean value.

The terms yes, true, 1, on can all be used to mean true.
