Method Detail

• public static String capitalize(String property)

  This is the complement the behavior of the decapitalize(String) method. We handle names that begin with an initial lowerCase followed by upperCase with special JavaBean behavior (which is to make no change). See GROOVY-3211.

  Parameters:

  property - the property name to capitalize

  Returns:

  the name capitalized, except when we don't

  Since:

  3.0.0

• public static String decapitalize(String property)

  Returns a string which is the same as the original except the first letter will be lowercase except for some special cases as per JavaBean handling. In particular, if the first two letters are both uppercase, e.g. URL, then no change of case occurs.

  Originally inspired by the method with the same name in Introspector.

  Parameters:

  property - a string representing the name of a JavaBean-like property

  Returns:

  the decapitalized string

  Since:

  3.0.0
