----------------------------------------
Summary: Add isEmpty method to ObjectUtils
Key: LANG-1411
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1411
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Alexander Tsvetkov
In Spring's
[org.springframework.util.ObjectUtils|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/master/spring-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/util/ObjectUtils.java]
there's a null-safe [isEmpty
method|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/04141dee65ff5e078e2a9137ff7052351f6ab66c/spring-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/util/ObjectUtils.java#L134]
that checks whether an object is empty based on its type. If the object is a
string it calls String.isEmpty, if it's a collection it calls
Collection.isEmpty, etc. I think a similar method would be a really nice
addition to org.apache.commons.lang3.ObjectUtils, as it would allow people like
me to use it without adding a dependency to Spring or re-implementing the
method in our code.
