Swaps the case of a String changing upper and title case to * lower case, and lower case to upper case.
* *For a word based algorithm, see {@link WordUtils#swapCase(String)}.
* A null
input String returns null
.
* StringUtils.swapCase(null) = null * StringUtils.swapCase("") = "" * StringUtils.swapCase("The dog has a BONE") = "tHE DOG HAS A bone" ** *
NOTE: This method changed in Lang version 2.0. * It no longer performs a word based algorithm. * If you only use ASCII, you will notice no change. * That functionality is available in WordUtils.
* * @param str the String to swap case, may be null * @return the changed String,null
