A simple type for building up Strings. Use as follows:
using StringBuilders
sb = StringBuilder()
append!(sb, "First string")
append!(sb, "Second string")
s = String(sb)The advantage of StringBuilders.jl over using IOBuffer is in the API. Some may find The higher-level StringBuilders.jl API easier to use. For comparison, the example above using IOBuffer would be
io = IOBuffer()
write(io, "First string")
write(io, "Second String")
s = String(take!(io))
close(io)
