Review Comment:
   HI @yesamer 
   IIUC the logic, I think it would be possible to avoid the usage of `null` 
semantic; i.e.
   1. instantiate directly `sb`
   2. here -> 
   `return sb != null ? sb.toString() : input;` 
   replace with
   `return sb.isEmpty() ? input : sb.toString();`
   
   I think it would a bit clearer (and less code/if): wdyt ?
