Enclosing class:

VerticalBarParser
```
public class VerticalBarParser.Delimiters
extends Object
```
Delimiters for a message. Note that the application rarely needs to concern itself with this information; it mainly exists for internal use. However if a message is being written to a spec that calls for non-standard delimiters, the application can set them here.
