Compare two String objects.

It is common in XML to alter whitespace during the encoding process. For this reason it is a best practice to ignore whitespace when comparing XML String objects. For strict String equality cast the String objects into Object objects.

boolean flag = EqualityUtil.equals((Object)a, (Object)b);

Parameters:

a - First String

b - Second String

Returns:

true if equal; false otherwise.
