Java StringTokenizer Class



Introduction

The Java StringTokenizer class allows an application to break a string into tokens.

  • This class is a legacy class that is retained for compatibility reasons although its use is discouraged in new code.

  • Its methods do not distinguish among identifiers, numbers, and quoted strings.
