Description
|
An API for character-set support, including a service-provider interface
for pluggable converters. This API will give developers direct access the
platform's built-in character-set converters and will also provide for the
easy "plugging in" of new converters.
This API is being developed under the Java Community Process as part of JSR-051.

For many character encodings it is possible to find a valid
place to start decoding near an arbitrary point in a file --
- say 30MB from the beginning, without having to read all
the data from the beginning of the file. This is clearly
trivial for fixed length encoding (start on the correct
multiple). It is also not difficult to do for variable
length encodings like UTF8. The public character converter
API should provide methods which enable this to be done
where possible.

It would help if the encodings would report the official
name registered with IANA to aid compatibility with other
applications. Thus "cp1252" should report "windows-
1252", "cp437" is more properly known as "IBM437", etc.

In Servlet API 2.3, a new method setCharacterEncoding
(String encoding) has been added to the ServletRequest
interface. And this method throws the exception if the
encoding is invalid.
So character set API is necessary to check the encoding
is valid or not.
