99/// Allows for the incremental building of a string using `write*()` methods.
1010/// The strings are concatenated to a single string only when [toString] is
1111/// called.

13+ /// Example:
14+ /// ```dart
15+ /// final buffer = StringBuffer('DART');
16+ /// print(buffer.length); // 4
17+ /// ```
18+ /// To add the string representation of an object, as returned by
19+ /// [Object.toString] , to the buffer, use [write] .
20+ /// Is also used for adding a string directly.
21+ /// ```
22+ /// buffer.write(' is open source');
23+ /// print(buffer.length); // 19
24+ /// print(buffer); // DART is open source
25+ ///
26+ /// const int dartYear = 2011;
27+ /// buffer
28+ /// ..write(' since ') // Writes a string.
29+ /// ..write(dartYear); // Writes an int.
30+ /// print(buffer); // DART is open source since 2011
31+ /// print(buffer.length); // 30
32+ /// ```
33+ /// To add a newline after the object's string representation, use [writeln] .
34+ /// Calling [writeln] with no argument adds a single newline to the buffer.
35+ /// ```
36+ /// buffer.writeln(); // Contains "DART is open source since 2011\n".
37+ /// buffer.writeln('-' * (buffer.length - 1)); // 30 '-'s and a newline.
38+ /// print(buffer.length); // 62
39+ /// ```
40+ /// To write multiple objects to the buffer, use [writeAll] .
41+ /// ```
42+ /// const separator = '-';
43+ /// buffer.writeAll(['Dart', 'is', 'fun!'], separator);
44+ /// print(buffer.length); // 74

51+ /// to the buffer, use [writeCharCode] .

54+ /// buffer.writeCharCode(0x44); // 'D'
55+ /// buffer.writeCharCode(0x61); // 'a'

73+ /// print(buffer.length); // 0
