Field Detail

US_ASCII

@GwtIncompatible(value="Non-UTF-8 Charset")
public static final Charset US_ASCII

US-ASCII: seven-bit ASCII, the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set (ISO646-US).

Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.US_ASCII instead.

ISO_8859_1

@GwtIncompatible(value="Non-UTF-8 Charset")
public static final Charset ISO_8859_1

ISO-8859-1: ISO Latin Alphabet Number 1 (ISO-LATIN-1).

Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1 instead.

UTF_8

public static final Charset UTF_8

UTF-8: eight-bit UCS Transformation Format.

Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.UTF_8 instead.

UTF_16BE

@GwtIncompatible(value="Non-UTF-8 Charset")
public static final Charset UTF_16BE

UTF-16BE: sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, big-endian byte order.

Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.UTF_16BE instead.

UTF_16LE

@GwtIncompatible(value="Non-UTF-8 Charset")
public static final Charset UTF_16LE

UTF-16LE: sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, little-endian byte order.

Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.UTF_16LE instead.

UTF_16

@GwtIncompatible(value="Non-UTF-8 Charset")
public static final Charset UTF_16

UTF-16: sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format, byte order identified by an optional byte-order mark.

Note for Java 7 and later: this constant should be treated as deprecated; use StandardCharsets.UTF_16 instead.
