This project provides a memory efficient String implementation. Following brief explains the need for the same.

Problem

Strings as immutable in Java. Java simplifies string manipulation operations by copying original string every time. However, it consumes memory. Especially, concatenate and split operations. We want to have a memory efficient string object without having to convert the whole program to C/C++.

Solution

We will create a new string class that violates immutability but is represented by start and end pointer in a character array. Concatenate and split operations produce new objects with pointers in the same original character array. For implementation(prototype) speed, I have used StringBuilder instead of character array. I will provide an alternative character array based implementation in future.
