I have a similar method in our code -- the use case is to take user input (plain English field names, for instance) and turn it into variable names for DTOs (or similar).
Another use we have for it is taking Java format ENUM_NAMES and turning them into camelCaseVariableNames for things like dynamic property sheets. ~Roger Whitcomb -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Jones [mailto:dun...@wortharead.com] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2017 7:32 AM To: Commons Developers List <dev@commons.apache.org> Subject: Re: [lang] Appetite for new method StringUtils.toCamelCase(String str, char delimiter, boolean capitalizeFirstLetter) On Thu, 1 Jun 2017 at 15:27, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> wrote: > IMO camel casing is all about words so [text] WordUtils.

Per our other conservation about case conversions, we should carefully specify whether this uses upper- or title-case and how it behaves in different locales.
