JavaScript Object-Oriented Programming: example of a single case pattern

/* Dataparser Singleton, converts character delimited strings into arrays. *   //* Now using True private methods. *
     
//Giantcorp.dataparser = (function () {  
  //private property  
  var Whitespaceregex =/\s+/;  
       
  Private method  
  function Stripwhitespace (str) {return

  }  
  function Stringsplit (str, delimiter) {return  
    str.split (delimiter);  
  }  
       
  Everything returned in the object literal are public, but can access the  
  //Members in the closure created 15/>return {   
    //public method
