    023/**
    024 * Assists in implementing {@link Object#toString()} methods.
    025 *
    026 * <p>This class enables a good and consistent {@code toString()} to be built for any
    027 * class or object. This class aims to simplify the process by:</p>
    028 * <ul>
    029 *  <li>allowing field names</li>
    030 *  <li>handling all types consistently</li>
    031 *  <li>handling nulls consistently</li>
    032 *  <li>outputting arrays and multi-dimensional arrays</li>
    033 *  <li>enabling the detail level to be controlled for Objects and Collections</li>
    034 *  <li>handling class hierarchies</li>
    035 * </ul>
    036 *
    037 * <p>To use this class write code as follows:</p>
    038 *
    039 * <pre>
    040 * public class Person {
    041 *   String name;
    042 *   int age;
    043 *   boolean smoker;
    044 *
    045 *   ...
    046 *
    047 *   public String toString() {
    048 *     return new ToStringBuilder(this).
    049 *       append("name", name).
    050 *       append("age", age).
    051 *       append("smoker", smoker).
    052 *       toString();
    053 *   }
    054 * }
    055 * </pre>
    056 *
    057 * <p>This will produce a toString of the format:
    058 * {@code Person@7f54[name=Stephen,age=29,smoker=false]}</p>
    059 *
    060 * <p>To add the superclass {@code toString}, use {@link #appendSuper}.
    061 * To append the {@code toString} from an object that is delegated
    062 * to (or any other object), use {@link #appendToString}.</p>
    063 *
    064 * <p>Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
    065 * the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
    066 * {@code reflectionToString}, uses {@code AccessibleObject.setAccessible} to
    067 * change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager,
    068 * unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also
    069 * slower than testing explicitly.</p>
    070 *
    071 * <p>A typical invocation for this method would look like:</p>
    072 *
    073 * <pre>
    074 * public String toString() {
    075 *   return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this);
    076 * }
    077 * </pre>
    078 *
    079 * <p>You can also use the builder to debug 3rd party objects:</p>
    080 *
    081 * <pre>
    082 * System.out.println("An object: " + ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(anObject));
    083 * </pre>
    084 *
    085 * <p>The exact format of the {@code toString} is determined by
    086 * the {@link ToStringStyle} passed into the constructor.</p>
    087 *
