Expression Evaluation
A set of classes representing boolean and numeric expressions, that can be evaluated to produce String, Numeric, or Boolean results. These are thought to be mostly useful in script-based settings, where the expressions are dynamically constructed and not known ahead of time (which would allow them to be hard-coded for much greater efficiency.)

Internationalization (i18n) Framework
A single class to be extended by you that provides for a highly reliable and feature-rich way of obtaining nationalized text with either named or indexed parameters. Unknown keys will generate diagnostics messages rather than resulting in unprintable null values, and text that produces a translation into a language that is not the software's default can be made to echo the original default version of the message to a log file to assist in diagnostics.

Paragraph formatting
A class to reformat a paragraph of monospaced text within certain margins, and with given initial line indent, and word-wrapping indentation. This code can be used to format text similar to the following examples:

                    formatted to demonstrate some nifty features/
                    tricks implemented in the code.

Miscellaneous Utilities
  • Conversion back and forth between binary and Base64 encoding,
  • Loading and saving of key/value configuration files that preserve order of entries as well as comments,
  • Conversion from textual representation of numbers to binary values similar to what the standard C library offers with methods such as atoi, atol, and atod,
  • Conversion of a span of time to a human-readable time such as 3d 11h 54m; easy computation of an estimated time to completion,
  • Conversion between various textual representations of dates and their binary Date and Calendar equivalents that can be manipulated programmatically,
  • test the file system's ability to treat filenames distinctly when their names differ only by the case of the letters (e.g. is a file ``FOO.TEXT'' distinguishable from one named ``foo.text''?)
