CharEncoding

@Deprecated public class org.apache.commons.lang3.CharEncoding

Deprecated: Java 7 introduced java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets, which defines these constants as Charset objects. Use Charset#name() to get the string values provided in this class. This class will be removed in a future release.

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.

Methods

isSupported(String)

Deprecated. Tests whether the named charset is supported.

@Deprecated public static boolean isSupported(String name)

Deprecated: Please use Charset#isSupported(String) instead, although be aware that null values are not accepted by that method and an IllegalCharsetNameException may be thrown.

Tests whether the named charset is supported.

This is similar to java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported(String) but handles more formats

Parameters:

name – The name of the requested charset; may be either a canonical name or an alias, null returns false

Returns:

true if the charset is available in the current Java virtual machine
