Apache Commons Lang 3.0 is a java library with lot of utilities and reusable components. This requires the library commons-lang3-3.0.1.jar to be in classpath. The following example shows using StrSubstitutor.replace() API. It replaces all the occurrences of variables in the given source object with their matching values from the map. This method allows us to specify a custom variable prefix and suffix.
