27 /**
28  * A UParseError struct is used to returned detailed information about
29  * parsing errors.  It is used by ICU parsing engines that parse long
30  * rules, patterns, or programs, where the text being parsed is long
31  * enough that more information than a UErrorCode is needed to
32  * localize the error.
33  *
34  * <p>The line, offset, and context fields are optional; parsing
35  * engines may choose not to use to use them.
36  *
37  * <p>The preContext and postContext strings include some part of the
38  * context surrounding the error.  If the source text is "let for=7"
39  * and "for" is the error (e.g., because it is a reserved word), then
40  * some examples of what a parser might produce are the following:
41  *
42  * <pre>
43  * preContext   postContext
44  * ""           ""            The parser does not support context
45  * "let "       "=7"          Pre- and post-context only
46  * "let "       "for=7"       Pre- and post-context and error text
47  * ""           "for"         Error text only
48  * </pre>
49  *
50  * <p>Examples of engines which use UParseError (or may use it in the
51  * future) are Transliterator, RuleBasedBreakIterator, and
52  * RegexPattern.
