        Compare two String objects.

        It is common in XML to alter whitespace during the encoding process. For this reason it is a best practice to ignore whitespace when comparing XML String objects. For strict String equality cast the String objects into Object objects.

        boolean flag = EqualityUtil.equals((Object)a, (Object)b);

        Parameters:
        a - First String
        b - Second String
        Returns:
        true if equal; false otherwise.
