protected static booleanisWhiteSpace(char ch)
returns true if the specified char is a white space character.

        // most of the characters are non-control characters.
        // so check that first to quickly return false for most of the cases.
        if( ch>0x20 )   return false;

        // other than we have to do four comparisons.
        return ch == 0x9 || ch == 0xA || ch == 0xD || ch == 0x20;
    
public java.lang.Stringmarshal(java.lang.String s)
No-op. Just return the same string given as the parameter.

        return s;
    
public java.lang.Stringunmarshal(java.lang.String text)
Removes leading and trailing whitespaces of the string given as the parameter, then truncate any sequnce of tab, CR, LF, and SP by a single whitespace character ' '.
