  Returns:

  the string representation of the collection

• public static String toListString(Collection arg, int maxSize, boolean safe)

  A helper method to return the string representation of a list with bracket boundaries "[" and "]".

  Parameters:

  arg - the collection to process

  maxSize - stop after approximately this many characters and append '...', -1 means don't stop

• public static String toMapString(Map arg)

  A helper method to return the string representation of a map with bracket boundaries "[" and "]".

  Parameters:

• public static String toMapString(Map arg, int maxSize)

  A helper method to return the string representation of a map with bracket boundaries "[" and "]".

• public static String toString(Object arguments)

• public static String toString(@NamedParams({ @NamedParam(value = "safe", type = Boolean.class), @NamedParam(value = "maxSize", type = Integer.class), @NamedParam(value = "verbose", type = Boolean.class), @NamedParam(value = "escapeBackslashes", type = Boolean.class), @NamedParam(value = "inspect", type = Boolean.class) })
  Map<String, Object> options, Object arguments)

  Output the toString for the argument(s) with various options to configure. Configuration options:

   
  
       
  safe
  provides protection if the toString throws an exception, in which case the exception is swallowed and a dumber default toString is used
       
  maxSize
  will attempt to truncate the output to fit approx the maxSize number of characters, -1 means don't truncate
       
  inspect
  if false, render a value by its toString, otherwise use its inspect value
       
  escapeBackSlashes
  whether characters like tab, newline, etc. are converted to their escaped rendering ('\t', '\n', etc.)
       
  verbose
  shorthand to turn on both inspect and escapeBackslashes
   
   

  Parameters:

  options - a map of configuration options

  arguments - the argument(s) to calculate the toString for

  Returns:

  the string rendering of the argument(s)
