This class defines methods for creating decoders and encoders and * for retrieving the various names associated with a charset. Instances of * this class are immutable. * * <p> This class also defines static methods for testing whether a particular * charset is supported, for locating charset instances by name, and for * constructing a map that contains every charset for which support is * available in the current Java virtual machine. Support for new charsets can * be added via the service-provider interface defined in the {@link * java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider} class. * * <p> All of the methods defined in this class are safe for use by multiple * concurrent threads. * * * <h2><a id="names">Charset names</a></h2> * * <p> Charsets are named by strings composed of the following characters: * * <ul> * * <li> The uppercase letters {@code 'A'} through {@code 'Z'} * (<code>'\u0041'</code> through <code>'\u005a'</code>), * * <li> The lowercase letters {@code 'a'} through {@code 'z'} * (<code>'\u0061'</code> through <code>'\u007a'</code>), * * <li> The digits {@code '0'} through {@code '9'} * (<code>'\u0030'</code> through <code>'\u0039'</code>), * * <li> The dash character {@code '-'} * (<code>'\u002d'</code>, <small>HYPHEN-MINUS</small>), * * <li> The plus character {@code '+'} * (<code>'\u002b'</code>, <small>PLUS SIGN</small>), * * <li> The period character {@code '.'} * (<code>'\u002e'</code>, <small>FULL STOP</small>), * * <li> The colon character {@code ':'} * (<code>'\u003a'</code>, <small>COLON</small>), and * * <li> The underscore character {@code '_'} * (<code>'\u005f'</code>, <small>LOW LINE</small>). * * </ul> * * A charset name must begin with either a letter or a digit. The empty string * is not a legal charset name. Charset names are not case-sensitive; that is, * case is always ignored when comparing charset names. Charset names * generally follow the conventions documented in <a * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt"><i>RFC 2278: IANA Charset * Registration Procedures</i></a>. * * <p> Every charset has a <i>canonical name</i> and may also have one or more * <i>aliases</i>. The canonical name is returned by the {@link #name() name} method * of this class. Canonical names are, by convention, usually in upper case. * The aliases of a charset are returned by the {@link #aliases() aliases} * method. * * <p><a id="hn">Some charsets have an <i>historical name</i> that is defined for * compatibility with previous versions of the Java platform.</a> A charset's * historical name is either its canonical name or one of its aliases. The * historical name is returned by the {@code getEncoding()} methods of the * {@link java.io.InputStreamReader#getEncoding InputStreamReader} and {@link * java.io.OutputStreamWriter#getEncoding OutputStreamWriter} classes. * * <p><a id="iana"> </a>If a charset listed in the <a * href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets"><i>IANA Charset * Registry</i></a> is supported by an implementation of the Java platform then * its canonical name must be the name listed in the registry. Many charsets * are given more than one name in the registry, in which case the registry * identifies one of the names as <i>MIME-preferred</i>. If a charset has more * than one registry name then its canonical name must be the MIME-preferred * name and the other names in the registry must be valid aliases. If a * supported charset is not listed in the IANA registry then its canonical name * must begin with one of the strings {@code "X-"} or {@code "x-"}. * * <p> The IANA charset registry does change over time, and so the canonical * name and the aliases of a particular charset may also change over time. To * ensure compatibility it is recommended that no alias ever be removed from a * charset, and that if the canonical name of a charset is changed then its * previous canonical name be made into an alias. * * * <h2><a id="standard">Standard charsets</a></h2> * * * <p> Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the * following standard charsets. Consult the release documentation for your * implementation to see if any other charsets are supported. The behavior * of such optional charsets may differ between implementations. * * <blockquote><table class="striped" style="width:80%"> * <caption style="display:none">Description of standard charsets</caption> * <thead> * <tr><th scope="col" style="text-align:left">Charset</th><th scope="col" style="text-align:left">Description</th></tr> * </thead> * <tbody> * <tr><th scope="row" style="vertical-align:top">{@code US-ASCII}</th> * <td>Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. {@code ISO646-US}, * a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set</td></tr> * <tr><th scope="row" style="vertical-align:top"><code>ISO-8859-1 </code></th> * <td>ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. {@code ISO-LATIN-1}</td></tr> * <tr><th scope="row" style="vertical-align:top">{@code UTF-8}</th> * <td>Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format</td></tr> * <tr><th scope="row" style="vertical-align:top">{@code UTF-16BE}</th> * <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, * big-endian byte order</td></tr> * <tr><th scope="row" style="vertical-align:top">{@code UTF-16LE}</th> * <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, * little-endian byte order</td></tr> * <tr><th scope="row" style="vertical-align:top">{@code UTF-16}</th> * <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, * byte order identified by an optional byte-order mark</td></tr> * </tbody> * </table></blockquote> * * <p> The {@code UTF-8} charset is specified by <a * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2279.txt"><i>RFC 2279</i></a>; the * transformation format upon which it is based is specified in * Amendment 2 of ISO 10646-1 and is also described in the <a * href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html"><i>Unicode * Standard</i></a>. * * <p> The {@code UTF-16} charsets are specified by <a * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2781.txt"><i>RFC 2781</i></a>; the * transformation formats upon which they are based are specified in * Amendment 1 of ISO 10646-1 and are also described in the <a * href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html"><i>Unicode * Standard</i></a>. * * <p> The {@code UTF-16} charsets use sixteen-bit quantities and are * therefore sensitive to byte order. In these encodings the byte order of a * stream may be indicated by an initial <i>byte-order mark</i> represented by * the Unicode character <code>'\uFEFF'</code>. Byte-order marks are handled * as follows: * * <ul> * * <li><p> When decoding, the {@code UTF-16BE} and {@code UTF-16LE} * charsets interpret the initial byte-order marks as a <small>ZERO-WIDTH * NON-BREAKING SPACE</small>; when encoding, they do not write * byte-order marks. </p></li> * * <li><p> When decoding, the {@code UTF-16} charset interprets the * byte-order mark at the beginning of the input stream to indicate the * byte-order of the stream but defaults to big-endian if there is no * byte-order mark; when encoding, it uses big-endian byte order and writes * a big-endian byte-order mark. </p></li> * * </ul> * * In any case, byte order marks occurring after the first element of an * input sequence are not omitted since the same code is used to represent * <small>ZERO-WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE</small>. * * <p> Every instance of the Java virtual machine has a default charset, which * may or may not be one of the standard charsets. The default charset is * determined during virtual-machine startup and typically depends upon the * locale and charset being used by the underlying operating system. </p> * * <p> The {@link StandardCharsets} class defines constants for each of the * standard charsets. * * <h2>Terminology</h2> * * <p> The name of this class is taken from the terms used in * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt"><i>RFC 2278</i></a>. * In that document a <i>charset</i> is defined as the combination of * one or more coded character sets and a character-encoding scheme. * (This definition is confusing; some other software systems define * <i>charset</i> as a synonym for <i>coded character set</i>.) * * <p> A <i>coded character set</i> is a mapping between a set of abstract * characters and a set of integers. US-ASCII, ISO 8859-1, * JIS X 0201, and Unicode are examples of coded character sets. * * <p> Some standards have defined a <i>character set</i> to be simply a * set of abstract characters without an associated assigned numbering. * An alphabet is an example of such a character set. However, the subtle * distinction between <i>character set</i> and <i>coded character set</i> * is rarely used in practice; the former has become a short form for the * latter, including in the Java API specification. * * <p> A <i>character-encoding scheme</i> is a mapping between one or more * coded character sets and a set of octet (eight-bit byte) sequences. * UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO 2022, and EUC are examples of * character-encoding schemes. Encoding schemes are often associated with * a particular coded character set; UTF-8, for example, is used only to * encode Unicode. Some schemes, however, are associated with multiple * coded character sets; EUC, for example, can be used to encode * characters in a variety of Asian coded character sets. * * <p> When a coded character set is used exclusively with a single * character-encoding scheme then the corresponding charset is usually * named for the coded character set; otherwise a charset is usually named * for the encoding scheme and, possibly, the locale of the coded * character sets that it supports. Hence {@code US-ASCII} is both the * name of a coded character set and of the charset that encodes it, while * {@code EUC-JP} is the name of the charset that encodes the * JIS X 0201, JIS X 0208, and JIS X 0212 * coded character sets for the Japanese language. * * <p> The native character encoding of the Java programming language is * UTF-16. A charset in the Java platform therefore defines a mapping * between sequences of sixteen-bit UTF-16 code units (that is, sequences * of chars) and sequences of bytes. </p> * * * @author Mark Reinhold * @author JSR-51 Expert Group * @since 1.4 * * @see CharsetDecoder * @see CharsetEncoder * @see java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider * @see java.lang.Character */ public abstract class Charset implements Comparable<Charset> { /* -- Static methods -- */ /** * Checks that the given string is a legal charset name. </p> * * @param s * A purported charset name * * @throws IllegalCharsetNameException * If the given name is not a legal charset name */ private static void checkName(String s) { int n = s.length(); if (n == 0) { throw new IllegalCharsetNameException(s); } for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { char c = s.charAt(i); if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') continue; if (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') continue; if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') continue; if (c == '-' && i != 0) continue; if (c == '+' && i != 0) continue; if (c == ':' && i != 0) continue; if (c == '_' && i != 0) continue; if (c == '.' && i != 0) continue; throw new IllegalCharsetNameException(s); } } /* The standard set of charsets */ private static final CharsetProvider standardProvider = new sun.nio.cs.StandardCharsets(); private static final String[] zeroAliases = new String[0]; // Cache of the most-recently-returned charsets, // along with the names that were used to find them // private static volatile Object[] cache1; // "Level 1" cache private static volatile Object[] cache2; // "Level 2" cache private static void cache(String charsetName, Charset cs) { cache2 = cache1; cache1 = new Object[] { charsetName, cs }; } // Creates an iterator that walks over the available providers, ignoring // those whose lookup or instantiation causes a security exception to be // thrown.
