Re: [Codenarc-user] def x = "" -> UnnecessaryGString

[Hamlet D. <ham...@ca...>]

The website sometimes has fuller descriptions of the errors: http://codenarc.sourceforge.net/codenarc-rules-unnecessary.html

"String objects should be created with single quotes, and GString objects created with double quotes. Creating normal String objects with double quotes is confusing to readers."

Yes the compiler allows you to create a String with "", but if your intent is to create a String then use ''. 

Feel free to turn this rule off if you disagree :)
