## Detailed Description

Formats simple patterns like "{1} was born in {0}".

Minimal subset of MessageFormat; fast, simple, minimal dependencies. Supports only numbered arguments with no type nor style parameters, and formats only string values. Quoting via ASCII apostrophe compatible with ICU MessageFormat default behavior.

Factory methods set error codes for syntax errors and for too few or too many arguments/placeholders.

SimpleFormatter objects are thread-safe except for assignment and applying new patterns.

Example:

    UErrorCode errorCode = U_ZERO_ERROR;
    SimpleFormatter fmt("{1} '{born}' in {0}", errorCode);
    UnicodeString result;

    // Output: "paul {born} in england"
    fmt.format("england", "paul", result, errorCode);

This class is not intended for public subclassing.

Parameters

  valuesLength | The length of the values array. Must be at least getArgumentLimit().
  appendTo | Gets the formatted pattern and values appended.

TODO(ICU-20406): Replace this with an Iterator interface.

Parameters

  offsets | offsets[i] receives the offset of where {i} was located before it was replaced by an empty string. For example, "a{0}b{1}" produces offset 1 for i=0 and 2 for i=1. Can be nullptr if offsetsLength==0. If there is no {i} in the pattern, then offsets[i] is set to -1.
  offsetsLength | The length of the offsets array.
