Class HexCharset

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<Charset>

    public class HexCharset
    extends Charset
    This was borrowed from the Soupdragon base64 library.

    Codec to translate between hex coding and byte string.

    Hex output is capital if the char set name is given in capitals.

    hex:nn used as a charset name inserts \n after every nnth character.

    • Method Detail

      • newEncoder

        public CharsetEncoder newEncoder()
        Constructs a new encoder for this charset.
        Specified by:
        newEncoder in class Charset
        Returns:
        A new encoder for this charset
      • newDecoder

        public CharsetDecoder newDecoder()
        Constructs a new decoder for this charset.
        Specified by:
        newDecoder in class Charset
        Returns:
        A new decoder for this charset
      • contains

        public boolean contains​(Charset cs)
        Tells whether or not this charset contains the given charset.

        A charset C is said to contain a charset D if, and only if, every character representable in D is also representable in C. If this relationship holds then it is guaranteed that every string that can be encoded in D can also be encoded in C without performing any replacements.

        That C contains D does not imply that each character representable in C by a particular byte sequence is represented in D by the same byte sequence, although sometimes this is the case.

        Every charset contains itself.

        This method computes an approximation of the containment relation: If it returns true then the given charset is known to be contained by this charset; if it returns false, however, then it is not necessarily the case that the given charset is not contained in this charset.

        Specified by:
        contains in class Charset
        Returns:
        true if, and only if, the given charset is contained in this charset
