type

Charset

@Serializable { simple=true } const class Charset : Obj

Charset represents a specific character encoding. It is used to decode bytes to Unicode characters, and encode Unicode characters to bytes.

constructors

fromStr	Attempt to lookup a Charset by name.

methods

defVal	Default value is `utf8`.
equals	Charset equality is based on the character set name ignoring case (names are not case-sensitive).
hash	Compute hash code based on case-insensitive name.
name	Get the name of this character encoding.
toStr	Return name().
utf16BE	An charset for "UTF-16BE" format (Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order).
utf16LE	An charset for "UTF-16LE" format (Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order).
utf8	An charset for "UTF-8" format (Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format).

Slot Details

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()

An charset for "UTF-16BE" format (Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order).

utf16LE

static Charset utf16LE()

An charset for "UTF-16LE" format (Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order).

utf8

static Charset utf8()

An charset for "UTF-8" format (Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format).
