    The String representation consists of a list of the array's elements, enclosed in curly braces ("{}"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (a comma followed by a space). Returns a "null" String if array is null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - the array to build a String representation for
    
    Returns:
    
    a String representation of array
  - nullSafeToString

```
    Generate a null-safe, concise string representation of the supplied object as described below.
    Favor this method over nullSafeToString(Object) when you need the length of the generated string to be limited.
    Returns:
    - "null" if obj is null
    - if obj is an empty Optional
    - if obj is a non-empty Optional, where <concise-string> is the result of invoking nullSafeConciseToString(java.lang.Object) on the object contained in the Optional
    - "{}" if obj is an empty array or Map
    - "{...}" if obj is a non-empty array or Map
    - "[]" if obj is an empty Collection
    - "[...]" if obj is a non-empty Collection
    - Class name if obj is a Class
    - Charset name if obj is a Charset
    - TimeZone ID if obj is a TimeZone
    - Zone ID if obj is a ZoneId
    - Potentially truncated string if obj is a String or CharSequence
    - Potentially truncated string if obj is a simple value type whose toString() method returns a non-null value
    - Otherwise, a string representation of the object's type name concatenated with "@" and a hex string form of the object's identity hash code
    In the context of this method, a simple value type is any of the following: primitive wrapper (excluding Void), Enum, Number, Date, Temporal, File, Path, URI, URL, InetAddress, Currency, Locale, UUID, Pattern.
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to build a string representation for
    
    Returns:
    
    a concise string representation of the supplied object
