java.lang.Object
- io.dialob.rule.parser.node.ImmutableSpan.Builder

Enclosing class:

ImmutableSpan
```
@NotThreadSafe
public static final class ImmutableSpan.Builder
extends Object
```
Builds instances of type ImmutableSpan. Initialize attributes and then invoke the build() method to create an immutable instance.
Builder is not thread-safe and generally should not be stored in a field or collection, but instead used immediately to create instances.
