Method Detail

countLength

public static int countLength(String str)
Count the number of "character" in Unicode string. "character" here is defined by http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-Char Basically, all the work this function will do is to take care of surrogate pairs. If string contains any char ('char' in Java datatype) other than those allowed in XML spec, the behavior is undefined. However, we can safely assume that XML parser performs this check before we receive the value.
