Interface CharSequence

All Known Implementing Classes:

SharedCharSequence, StringCharSequence

public interface CharSequence

The ByteSequence interface is used by the diff engine. The intention is that a file be broken down into "lines" which are exposed as a ByteSequence. The interface is quite simple, it need only support the ability to determine the length of the sequence and the ability to get a byte at a specific location (0 based). In this respect is very similar to a byte array.
