Class Charsets


  • @GwtCompatible(emulated=true)
public final class Charsets
extends Object
    Contains constant definitions for the six standard Charset instances, which are guaranteed to be supported by all Java platform implementations.

    Assuming you're free to choose, note that UTF_8 is widely preferred.

    See the Guava User Guide article on Charsets.

    • 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.

      • 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.
