## About This Project



### Motivation



The motivation for this library is two-fold:

#### Side-stepping the negation operator

Though the negation operator (`!`) is concise, it is also easy to miss and sometimes has to be put in places where it obstructs or does not align with the natural reading flow.

This library aims to provide extension methods which improve the readability and straightforwardness of such statements—and in some cases there conciseness, too.

#### More concise string manipulation

 The C# string class comes pre-equipped with a variety of useful methods. However, invoking some of them requires rather roundabout statements (e.g. checking whether a string is empty). 

 This library provides some extension methods to simplify their usage.

## Feedback



*Please note:* I am a hobby programmer, and the premise of this library or the way it is implemented might not make sense from a more professional point of view. Additionally, I cannot guarantee it is behaving as intended, and am not actively maintaining it.

That being said, I would appreciate your feedback. If you have any suggestions, corrections or ideas, you can leave a post in the [Discussions][github-discussions-url] or open an [Issue][github-issues-url].
