StandardCharsets

AI-generated Key Takeaways

StandardCharsets provides constant definitions for commonly used character sets available in every Java platform implementation.
These pre-defined charsets include: ISO_8859_1, US_ASCII, UTF_16, UTF_16BE, UTF_16LE, and UTF_8.
The class ensures that these standard character sets are consistently available across different Java environments.
Developers can reliably use these constants for character encoding and decoding operations, promoting interoperability.

public final class StandardCharsets extends Object

Constant definitions for the standard Charsets. These charsets are guaranteed to be available on every implementation of the Java platform.

public static final Charset	ISO_8859_1	ISO Latin Alphabet No.
public static final Charset	US_ASCII	Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a.
public static final Charset	UTF_16	Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, byte order identified by an optional byte-order mark
public static final Charset	UTF_16BE	Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order
public static final Charset	UTF_16LE	Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order
public static final Charset	UTF_8	Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
