      int nextChar()
      returns the next character moving the file pointer or index to the next location.

    • currentChar

      int currentChar()
      returns the current character without changing the IO pointer or index.

    • hasChar

    • consumeIfMatch

      boolean consumeIfMatch(char[] match)
      Useful for finding constants in a string like true, false, etc.

      Returns:
      list of chars until this is found.

    • hadEscape

      boolean hadEscape()

    • readNumber

      char[] readNumber()
      Reads a number from the character source.

    • errorDetails
