Class Summary

Class	Description
A2BTransformer	A generic transformer that searches for all occurrences of a pattern (regEx) `a` in a string and replaces each with a string `b`; It takes two optional parameters, `removeMultipleWhitespaces` (default true) and `trimIt` (default true)
CapitalLettersExtractor	CapitalLettersExtractor returns only the capital letters in a string.
CompositeTransformer	A CompositeTransformer can have other transformers and executes them in order on the given string.
DictionaryRegexTransformer	Uses a Dictionary object of which it iterates over the keys to use each as a regular expression; if the pattern matches, it transforms the string accordingly returning the corresponding value of the Dictionary.
DictionaryTransformer	Uses a Dictionary object to lookup a string in its keys and returns the value if the key is found.
EpithetTransformer	This transformer canonicalises epithets
FakeHybridSignCleaner	Deletes X and x that seem to be meant as hybrid signs X and x can be at the beginning of a string followed by a whitespace or anywhere in the string if surrounded by white-spaces.
NormaliseDiacritsTransformer	Converts a string to its normalised form using unicode's NFD form (http://unicode.org/reports/tr15/) adding an ASCII equivalent after any identified diacritical character) and then removes all non-ASCII characters from the string In addition to the characters defined by the unicode consortium the following characters are replaced: [[ADDITIONAL)_REPLACEMENTS]]
RegexDefCollection	A collection of regular expressions that are meaningful to the domain and/or are used multiple times.
RegexExtractorTransformer	A generic transformer that extracts all occurrences of a pattern (regEx) in a string It takes two optional parameters, `removeMultipleWhitespaces` (default true) and `trimIt` (default true)
RemoveBracketedTextTransformer	Removes all text in brackets (round, square and curly) incl.
RomanNumeralTransformer	This transformer splits a string into a series of words.
SafeStripNonAlphanumericsTransformer	This is just a best-practise chain of three transformations: (1) replaces diacritic characters with their ASCII equivalent (NormaliseDiacriticsTransformer) (2) replaces all non-alphanumeric characters with `b` (default: whitespace) (3) replaces multiple whitespace occurrences with one whitespace returns a trimmed result
SafeStripNonAlphasTransformer	This is just a best-practise chain of three transformations: (1) replaces diacritic characters with their ASCII equivalent (NormaliseDiacriticsTransformer) (2) replaces all non-ASCII characters with `b` (default: whitespace) (3) replaces multiple whitespace occurrences with one whitespace returns a trimmed result
StringShrinker	Crops/shrinks a string to a length of `shrinkTo` characters.
StripNonAlphabeticCharactersTransformer	Deprecated Only works on ASCII; use SafeStripNonAlphasTransformer instead.
StripNonAlphanumericCharactersTransformer	Deprecated Only works on ASCII; use SafeStripNonAlphanumericsTransformer instead.
StripNonNumericCharactersTransformer	This transformer strips non numeric characters
YearRangeExtractorTransformer	Extracts year ranges from arbitrary strings.
ZeroToBlankTransformer	This transformer translates zeros to blanks
