This assertion allows simple transformation such as:
- trim spaces
- to upper case and lower case
- encore and decode hexadecimal strings in UTF-8 and UTF-16 character sets
- encode and decode JSON and XML 1.0 and 1.1 strings
It has been designed to support easy addition of a new type transformation without the need of the Custom Assertion SDK. The 'transforms' package is independent and can be compiled without the SDK.
At the core, the StringTransformer.java class itself contains most of the actual transformation code. It can be compiled without the SDK. Just need to replace the generated .class file(s) in the jar file.
