23/**
24 * A UParseError struct is used to returned detailed information about
25 * parsing errors. It is used by ICU parsing engines that parse long
26 * rules, patterns, or programs, where the text being parsed is long
27 * enough that more information than a UErrorCode is needed to
28 * localize the error.
29 *
30 * <p>The line, offset, and context fields are optional; parsing
31 * engines may choose not to use to use them.
32 *
33 * <p>The preContext and postContext strings include some part of the
34 * context surrounding the error. If the source text is "let for=7"
35 * and "for" is the error (e.g., because it is a reserved word), then
36 * some examples of what a parser might produce are the following:
37 *
38 * <pre>
39 * preContext postContext
40 * "" "" The parser does not support context
41 * "let " "=7" Pre- and post-context only
42 * "let " "for=7" Pre- and post-context and error text
43 * "" "for" Error text only
44 * </pre>
45 *
46 * <p>Examples of engines which use UParseError (or may use it in the
47 * future) are Transliterator, RuleBasedBreakIterator, and
48 * RegexPattern.
