Class CharEncoding

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.lang.CharEncoding

    public class CharEncoding

extends Object

Character encoding names required of every implementation of the Java platform.

According to JRE character encoding names:

Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following character encodings. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported.

Constructor Detail

### CharEncoding

    public CharEncoding()

Method Detail

### isSupported

    public static boolean isSupported(String name)

  Returns whether the named charset is supported.

  This is similar to java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported(String)

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the requested charset; may be either a canonical name or an alias
  Returns:
    `true` if, and only if, support for the named charset is available in the current Java virtual machine
