public class TextBuffer
extends java.lang.Object
```
TextBuffer is a class similar to StringBuffer, with following differences:
- TextBuffer uses segments character arrays, to avoid having to do additional array copies when array is not big enough. This means that only reallocating that is necessary is done only once: if and when caller wants to access contents in a linear array (char[], String).
- TextBuffer can also be initialized in "shared mode", in which it will just act as a wrapper to a single char array managed by another object (like parser that owns it)
- TextBuffer is not synchronized.

`void`	`append(java.lang.String str, int offset, int len)`
`char[]`	`contentsAsArray()`
`java.math.BigDecimal`	`contentsAsDecimal()` Deprecated. Since 2.15 just access String contents if necessary, call `NumberInput.parseBigDecimal(String, boolean)` (or other overloads) directly instead
`double`	`contentsAsDouble()` Deprecated. use `contentsAsDouble(boolean)`
`double`	`contentsAsDouble(boolean useFastParser)` Convenience method for converting contents of the buffer into a Double value.
`float`	`contentsAsFloat()` Deprecated. use `contentsAsFloat(boolean)`
`float`	`contentsAsFloat(boolean useFastParser)` Convenience method for converting contents of the buffer into a Float value.
`int`	`contentsAsInt(boolean neg)` Specialized convenience method that will decode a 32-bit int, of at most 9 digits (and possible leading minus sign).
`long`	`contentsAsLong(boolean neg)` Specialized convenience method that will decode a 64-bit int, of at most 18 digits (and possible leading minus sign).
`java.lang.String`	`contentsAsString()` Accessor that may be used to get the contents of this buffer as a single `String` regardless of whether they were collected in a segmented fashion or not: this typically require construction of the result String.
`int`	`contentsToWriter(java.io.Writer w)` Accessor that will write buffered contents using given `Writer`.
`char[]`	`emptyAndGetCurrentSegment()`
`void`	`ensureNotShared()` Method called to make sure that buffer is not using shared input buffer; if it is, it will copy such contents to private buffer.

`void`	`releaseBuffers()` Method called to indicate that the underlying buffers should now be recycled if they haven't yet been recycled.

`void`	`resetWithEmpty()` Method called to clear out any content text buffer may have, and initializes buffer to use non-shared data.

public TextBuffer(BufferRecycler allocator)
```
- Method Detail
  - fromInitial
```
public static TextBuffer fromInitial(char[] initialSegment)
```
    Factory method for constructing an instance with no allocator, and with initial full segment.
    
    Parameters:
    
    initialSegment - Initial, full segment to use for creating buffer (buffer size() would return length of initialSegment)
    
    Returns:
    
    TextBuffer constructed
    
    Since:
    
    2.10
  - releaseBuffers
```
public void releaseBuffers()
```
    Method called to indicate that the underlying buffers should now be recycled if they haven't yet been recycled. Although caller can still use this text buffer, it is not advisable to call this method if that is likely, since next time a buffer is needed, buffers need to reallocated.
    Note: since Jackson 2.11, calling this method will NOT clear already aggregated contents (that is, _currentSegment, to retain current token text if (but only if!) already aggregated.
  - resetWithEmpty
```
public void resetWithEmpty()
```
    Method called to clear out any content text buffer may have, and initializes buffer to use non-shared data.
  - resetWith
```
public void resetWith(char ch)
```
    Method for clearing out possibly existing content, and replacing them with a single-character content (so size() would return 1)
    
    Parameters:

    offset - Offset of the first content character in buf
    
    len - Length of content in buf
