----------------------------------

             Summary: Include DoubleFormats utility from commons-geometry
                 Key: TEXT-207
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-207
             Project: Commons Text
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Matt Juntunen


commons-geometry currently contains a 
[DoubleFormats|https://github.com/apache/commons-geometry/blob/master/commons-geometry-io-core/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/geometry/io/core/utils/DoubleFormats.java]
 utility class in the {{commons-geometry-io-core}} module that produces 
standardized string representations of doubles for use in text-based data 
formats. It has the following features:
- It is completely thread-safe.
- It produces string in scientific, engineering, plain, or mixed (plain or 
scientific depending on value) formats.
- Performance is comparable to {{DecimalFormat}} and {{BigDecimal}}.

As mentioned on the dev mailing list, I believe that this class has broader 
applicability than just geometric data formats and would be a good fit for 
commons-text.
