All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, PropertySource, Rule

public class InefficientEmptyStringCheckRule
extends AbstractInefficientZeroCheck

This rule finds code which inefficiently determines empty strings. This code

         if(str.trim().length()==0){....
 

is quite inefficient as trim() causes a new String to be created. Smarter code to check for an empty string would be:

 Character.isWhitespace(str.charAt(i));
