    public boolean isLowerCaseNames()

  Returns `true` if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed.

  Returns:
    `true` if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed. Otherwise returns `false`

### setLowerCaseNames

    public void setLowerCaseNames(boolean b)

  Sets the flag if parameter names are to be converted to lower case when name/value pairs are parsed.

### parse

    public Map<String,String> parse(String str,
                                    char[] separators)

  Extracts a map of name/value pairs from the given string. Names are expected to be unique. Multiple separators may be specified and the earliest found in the input string is used.

  Parameters:
    `str` - the string that contains a sequence of name/value pairs
    `separators` - the name/value pairs separators
  Returns:
    a map of name/value pairs

### parse

    public Map<String,String> parse(char[] chars,
                                    char separator)

  Extracts a map of name/value pairs from the given array of characters. Names are expected to be unique.

  Parameters:
    `chars` - the array of characters that contains a sequence of name/value pairs
    `separator` - the name/value pairs separator
  Returns:
    a map of name/value pairs

### parse

    public Map<String,String> parse(char[] chars,
                                    int offset,
                                    int length,
                                    char separator)

  Extracts a map of name/value pairs from the given array of characters. Names are expected to be unique.

  Parameters:
    `chars` - the array of characters that contains a sequence of name/value pairs
    `offset` - - the initial offset.
    `length` - - the length.
