## javax.mail.internet
Class HeaderTokenizer

    java.lang.Object
      javax.mail.internet.HeaderTokenizer

    public class HeaderTokenizer

extends Object

This class tokenizes RFC822 and MIME headers into the basic symbols specified by RFC822 and MIME.

This class handles folded headers (ie headers with embedded CRLF SPACE sequences). The folds are removed in the returned tokens.

Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `HeaderTokenizer.Token` The Token class represents tokens returned by the HeaderTokenizer.

Field Summary
`static String` | `MIME` MIME specials
`static String` | `RFC822` RFC822 specials

Constructor Summary
`HeaderTokenizer(String header)` Constructor.
`HeaderTokenizer(String header, String delimiters)` Constructor.
`HeaderTokenizer(String header, String delimiters, boolean skipComments)` Constructor that takes a rfc822 style header.

Method Summary
`String` | `getRemainder()` Return the rest of the Header.
`HeaderTokenizer.Token` | `next()` Parses the next token from this String.
`HeaderTokenizer.Token` | `peek()` Peek at the next token, without actually removing the token from the parse stream.

Constructor Detail

### HeaderTokenizer

    public HeaderTokenizer(String header,
                           String delimiters,
                           boolean skipComments)

  Constructor that takes a rfc822 style header.

  Parameters:
    `header` - The rfc822 header to be tokenized
    `delimiters` - Set of delimiter characters to be used to delimit ATOMS. These are usually `RFC822` or `MIME`
    `skipComments` - If true, comments are skipped and not returned as tokens

### HeaderTokenizer

    public HeaderTokenizer(String header,
                           String delimiters)

  Constructor. Comments are ignored and not returned as tokens

  Parameters:
    `header` - The header that is tokenized
    `delimiters` - The delimiters to be used

### HeaderTokenizer

    public HeaderTokenizer(String header)

  Constructor. The RFC822 defined delimiters - RFC822 - are used to delimit ATOMS. Also comments are skipped and not returned as tokens

Method Detail

### next

    public HeaderTokenizer.Token next()
                               throws ParseException

  Parses the next token from this String.

  Clients sit in a loop calling next() to parse successive tokens until an EOF Token is returned.

  Returns:
    the next Token
  Throws:
    `ParseException` - if the parse fails

### peek

    public HeaderTokenizer.Token peek()
                               throws ParseException

  Peek at the next token, without actually removing the token from the parse stream. Invoking this method multiple times will return successive tokens, until `next()` is called.

  Returns:
    the next Token
  Throws:
    `ParseException` - if the parse fails

### getRemainder

    public String getRemainder()

  Return the rest of the Header.

  Returns:
    String rest of header. null is returned if we are already at end of header
