@Serializable { simple=true }
Charset represents a specific character encoding. It is used to decode bytes to Unicode characters, and encode Unicode characters to bytes.
- defVal
-
static Charset defVal()
Default value is
utf8
. - equals
-
virtual override Bool equals(Obj? obj)
Charset equality is based on the character set name ignoring case (names are not case-sensitive).
- fromStr
-
static new fromStr(Str name, Bool checked := true)
Attempt to lookup a Charset by name. Use one of the predefined methods such as
utf8
to get a standard encoding. If charset not found and checked is false return null, otherwise throw ParseErr. - hash
-
virtual override Int hash()
Compute hash code based on case-insensitive name.
- name
-
Str name()
Get the name of this character encoding.
- toStr
-
virtual override Str toStr()
Return name().
- utf16BE
-
static Charset utf16BE()
A charset for "UTF-16BE" format (Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order).
- utf16LE
-
static Charset utf16LE()
A charset for "UTF-16LE" format (Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order).
- utf8
-
static Charset utf8()
