Interface Appendee

All Known Implementing Classes:

AppendeeObject

public interface Appendee

Should be implemented by an object which can append itself to an AppendableExt object, where the work of generating a result for toString() would itself involve the appending of multiple CharSequences (Strings, etc).

In general, it is expected that the data appended to the AppendableExt an appendTo(com.healthmarketscience.common.util.AppendableExt) invocation be the same as the result of a call to Object.toString(). If this is not the case, it should be clearly documented in the class.
