Truly camelCase lib

What is camelCase?

Camel case is the practice of capitalizing the first letter of each word in a series (excepting first word which starts with lower case letter) and then removing spaces, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and other special characters. This leaves a concatenation of words that is combined into a single string with various letters capitalized throughout.

Basic camelCase rules:

• The first letter is in lowercase
• Each next word should start with capitalized letter
• The word does not end on a capitalized letter: camelCasE
• No two capitalized letters shall follow directly each other: camelCAse
• No number in that word at any place: CamelCase1more
• No dot(.), underscore (_) or dash (-) within the word, only letters: camel_Case
• No ‘foreign’ letters in it like äöüß or accentuated like áéí. cämélCáße
