Parameters:

string - the String to encode

Returns:

encoded bytes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when the charset is missing, which should be never according the the Java specification.

See Also:

Standard charsets, getBytesUnchecked(String, String)

getBytesUtf16

public static byte[] getBytesUtf16(String string)

Encodes the given string into a sequence of bytes using the UTF-16 charset, storing the result into a new byte array.

Parameters:

string - the String to encode

Returns:

encoded bytes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when the charset is missing, which should be never according the the Java specification.

See Also:

Standard charsets, getBytesUnchecked(String, String)

getBytesUtf16Be

public static byte[] getBytesUtf16Be(String string)

Encodes the given string into a sequence of bytes using the UTF-16BE charset, storing the result into a new byte array.

Parameters:

string - the String to encode

Returns:

encoded bytes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when the charset is missing, which should be never according the the Java specification.

See Also:

Standard charsets, getBytesUnchecked(String, String)

getBytesUtf16Le

public static byte[] getBytesUtf16Le(String string)

Encodes the given string into a sequence of bytes using the UTF-16LE charset, storing the result into a new byte array.

Parameters:

string - the String to encode

Returns:

encoded bytes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when the charset is missing, which should be never according the the Java specification.

See Also:

Standard charsets, getBytesUnchecked(String, String)

getBytesUtf8

public static byte[] getBytesUtf8(String string)

Encodes the given string into a sequence of bytes using the UTF-8 charset, storing the result into a new byte array.

Parameters:

string - the String to encode

Returns:

encoded bytes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when the charset is missing, which should be never according the the Java specification.

See Also:

Standard charsets, getBytesUnchecked(String, String)

getBytesUnchecked

public static byte[] getBytesUnchecked(String string,
                                       String charsetName)

Encodes the given string into a sequence of bytes using the named charset, storing the result into a new byte array.

This method catches UnsupportedEncodingException and rethrows it as IllegalStateException, which should never happen for a required charset name. Use this method when the encoding is required to be in the JRE.

Parameters:

string - the String to encode

charsetName - The name of a required Charset

Returns:

encoded bytes

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when a UnsupportedEncodingException is caught, which should never happen for a required charset name.

CharEncoding, String.getBytes(String)

newString

public static String newString(byte[] bytes,
                               String charsetName)

Constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the given charset.

This method catches UnsupportedEncodingException and re-throws it as IllegalStateException, which should never happen for a required charset name. Use this method when the encoding is required to be in the JRE.

Parameters:

bytes - The bytes to be decoded into characters

charsetName - The name of a required Charset

Returns:

A new String decoded from the specified array of bytes using the given charset.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - Thrown when a UnsupportedEncodingException is caught, which should never happen for a required charset name.
