      • format

        public static String format​(String template,
                            Object... args)
        Substitutes each %s or {} in template with an argument. These are matched by position: the first %s (or {}) gets args[0], etc. If there are more arguments than placeholders, the unmatched arguments will be appended to the end of the formatted message in square braces.

        This method currently accepts either %s or {} but not both at the same time. It won't work if you mix and match them as that is confusing anyway. What will happen is that only the %s placeholders will be resolved, and the {} will appear as a literal {} and the resulting message will thus be very difficult to understand, as there will be more arguments than %s placeholders.

        Generally you should pick one style and be consistent throughout your entire application. Since originally this method only supported the Guava %s, this support was retained for obvious backward-compatibility reasons, and the SLF4J {} style as added because we kept coming across instances where people are used to SLF4J replacement parameter style and used that, thus making the message not interpolate correctly (though thanks to Guava's implementation, all the parameter values are still displayed after the message as extra parameters).

        This method was originally copied directly from Guava 18.0's com.google.common.base.Preconditions#format(String, Object...) because it was not public in Guava, and it is useful and provides better performance than using the String.format(java.util.Locale, String, Object...) method. A slight modification we made is to not re-assign the template argument. Guava 25.1 moved this very useful functionality into the Guava Strings class as {Strings.lenientFormat(String, Object...)}. However, it only accepts %s as the replacement placeholder. For performance comparisons of the JDK String.format(String, Object...) method, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12786902/performance-javas-string-format

        Parameters:
        template - a non-null string containing 0 or more %s or {} placeholders.
        args - the arguments to be substituted into the message template. Arguments are converted to strings using String.valueOf(Object). Arguments can be null.
        Returns:
        the formatted string after making replacements

      • f

        public static String f​(String template,

        Parameters:
        template - a non-null string containing 0 or more %s or {} placeholders.
        args - the arguments to be substituted into the message template. Arguments are converted to strings using String.valueOf(Object). Arguments can be null.
        Returns:
        the formatted string after making replacements

      • formatGuavaStyle
