- ## Method Details

  - ### nextChar

    public final int nextChar()
    Description copied from interface: `CharacterSource`
    returns the next character moving the file pointer or index to the next location.
    Specified by:
      `nextChar` in interface `CharacterSource`

  - ### currentChar

    public final int currentChar()
    Description copied from interface: `CharacterSource`
    returns the current character without changing the IO pointer or index.
    Specified by:
      `currentChar` in interface `CharacterSource`

  - ### hasChar

    public final boolean hasChar()
    Description copied from interface: `CharacterSource`
    Checks to see if there is a next character.
    Specified by:
      `hasChar` in interface `CharacterSource`

  - ### consumeIfMatch

    public final boolean consumeIfMatch​(char[] match)
    Description copied from interface: `CharacterSource`
    Useful for finding constants in a string like true, false, etc.
    Specified by:
      `consumeIfMatch` in interface `CharacterSource`

  - ### location

    public final int location()
    Description copied from interface: `CharacterSource`
    This is mostly for debugging and testing.
    Specified by:
      `location` in interface `CharacterSource`

  - ### safeNextChar

    public final int safeNextChar()
    Description copied from interface: `CharacterSource`
    Combines the operations of nextChar and hasChar. Characters is -1 if not found which signifies end of file. This might be preferable to avoid two method calls.
    Specified by:
      `safeNextChar` in interface `CharacterSource`

      `findNextChar` in interface `CharacterSource`
    Parameters:
      `match` - character to find
      `esc` - escape character to avoid next char if escaped
    Returns:
      list of chars until this is found.
