    public CharTermAttributeImpl()
    Initialize this attribute with empty term text

- ## Method Details

  - ### copyBuffer

    public final void copyBuffer(char[] buffer, int offset, int length)
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Copies the contents of buffer, starting at offset for length characters, into the termBuffer array.
    Specified by:
      `copyBuffer` in interface `CharTermAttribute`
    Parameters:
      `buffer` - the buffer to copy
      `offset` - the index in the buffer of the first character to copy
      `length` - the number of characters to copy

  - ### buffer

    public final char[] buffer()
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Returns the internal termBuffer character array which you can then directly alter. If the array is too small for your token, use `CharTermAttribute.resizeBuffer(int)` to increase it. After altering the buffer be sure to call `CharTermAttribute.setLength(int)` to record the number of valid characters that were placed into the termBuffer.

    NOTE: The returned buffer may be larger than the valid `CharSequence.length()`.

    Specified by:
      `buffer` in interface `CharTermAttribute`

  - ### resizeBuffer

    public final char[] resizeBuffer(int newSize)
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Grows the termBuffer to at least size newSize, preserving the existing content.
    Specified by:
      `resizeBuffer` in interface `CharTermAttribute`
    Parameters:
      `newSize` - minimum size of the new termBuffer
    Returns:
      newly created termBuffer with `length >= newSize`

  - ### setLength

    public final CharTermAttribute setLength(int length)
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Set number of valid characters (length of the term) in the termBuffer array. Use this to truncate the termBuffer or to synchronize with external manipulation of the termBuffer. Note: to grow the size of the array, use `CharTermAttribute.resizeBuffer(int)` first.
    Specified by:
      `setLength` in interface `CharTermAttribute`
    Parameters:
      `length` - the truncated length

  - ### setEmpty

    public final CharTermAttribute setEmpty()
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Sets the length of the termBuffer to zero. Use this method before appending contents using the `Appendable` interface.
    Specified by:
      `setEmpty` in interface `CharTermAttribute`

  - ### getBytesRef

    public BytesRef getBytesRef()
    Description copied from interface: `TermToBytesRefAttribute`
    Retrieve this attribute's BytesRef. The bytes are updated from the current term. The implementation may return a new instance or keep the previous one.
    Specified by:
      `getBytesRef` in interface `TermToBytesRefAttribute`
    Returns:
      a BytesRef to be indexed (only stays valid until token stream gets incremented)

  - ### length

    public final int length()
    Specified by:
      `length` in interface `CharSequence`

  - ### charAt

    public final char charAt(int index)
    Specified by:
      `charAt` in interface `CharSequence`

  - ### subSequence

    public final CharSequence subSequence(int start, int end)
    Specified by:
      `subSequence` in interface `CharSequence`

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `Appendable`
    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `CharTermAttribute`

  - ### append

    public final CharTermAttribute append(CharSequence csq, int start, int end)
    Specified by:

  - ### append

    public final CharTermAttribute append(char c)
    Specified by:

  - ### append

    public final CharTermAttribute append(String s)
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Appends the specified `String` to this character sequence.

    The characters of the `String` argument are appended, in order, increasing the length of this sequence by the length of the argument. If argument is `null`, then the four characters `"null"` are appended.

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `CharTermAttribute`

  - ### append

    public final CharTermAttribute append(StringBuilder s)
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Appends the specified `StringBuilder` to this character sequence.

    The characters of the `StringBuilder` argument are appended, in order, increasing the length of this sequence by the length of the argument. If argument is `null`, then the four characters `"null"` are appended.

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `CharTermAttribute`

  - ### append

    public final CharTermAttribute append(CharTermAttribute ta)
    Description copied from interface: `CharTermAttribute`
    Appends the contents of the other `CharTermAttribute` to this character sequence.

    The characters of the `CharTermAttribute` argument are appended, in order, increasing the length of this sequence by the length of the argument. If argument is `null`, then the four characters `"null"` are appended.

    Specified by:
      `append` in interface `CharTermAttribute`

  - ### hashCode

    public int hashCode()
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `Object`

  - ### clear

    public void clear()
    Description copied from class: `AttributeImpl`
    Clears the values in this AttributeImpl and resets it to its default value. If this implementation implements more than one Attribute interface it clears all.
    Specified by:
      `clear` in class `AttributeImpl`

  - ### clone

    public CharTermAttributeImpl clone()
    Description copied from class: `AttributeImpl`
    In most cases the clone is, and should be, deep in order to be able to properly capture the state of all attributes.
    Overrides:
      `clone` in class `AttributeImpl`

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `Object`

  - ### toString

    public String toString()
    Returns solely the term text as specified by the `CharSequence` interface.

    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `Object`

  - ### reflectWith

    public void reflectWith(AttributeReflector reflector)
    Description copied from class: `AttributeImpl`
    This method is for introspection of attributes, it should simply add the key/values this attribute holds to the given `AttributeReflector`.

    Implementations look like this (e.g. for a combined attribute implementation):

           public void reflectWith(AttributeReflector reflector) {
             reflector.reflect(CharTermAttribute.class, "term", term());
             reflector.reflect(PositionIncrementAttribute.class, "positionIncrement", getPositionIncrement());
           }

    If you implement this method, make sure that for each invocation, the same set of `Attribute` interfaces and keys are passed to `AttributeReflector.reflect(java.lang.Class<? extends org.apache.lucene.util.Attribute>, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)` in the same order, but possibly different values. So don't automatically exclude e.g. `null` properties!

    Specified by:
      `reflectWith` in class `AttributeImpl`

      - `AttributeImpl.reflectAsString(boolean)`

  - ### copyTo

    public void copyTo(AttributeImpl target)
    Description copied from class: `AttributeImpl`
    Copies the values from this Attribute into the passed-in target attribute. The target implementation must support all the Attributes this implementation supports.
    Specified by:
      `copyTo` in class `AttributeImpl`
