/**
* A named mapping between sequences of sixteen-bit Unicode <a
* href="../../lang/Character.html#unicode">code units</a> and sequences of
* bytes. This class defines methods for creating decoders and encoders and
* for retrieving the various names associated with a charset. Instances of
* this class are immutable.
*
* <p> This class also defines static methods for testing whether a particular
* charset is supported, for locating charset instances by name, and for
* constructing a map that contains every charset for which support is
* available in the current Java virtual machine. Support for new charsets can
* be added via the service-provider interface defined in the {@link
* java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider} class.
*
* <p> All of the methods defined in this class are safe for use by multiple
* concurrent threads.
*
*
* <a name="names">
* <h2>Charset names
*
* <p> Charsets are named by strings composed of the following characters:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li> The uppercase letters 'A' through 'Z'
* (<tt>'\u0041' through '\u005a'),
*
* <li> The lowercase letters 'a' through 'z'
* (<tt>'\u0061' through '\u007a'),
*
* <li> The digits '0' through '9'
* (<tt>'\u0030' through '\u0039'),
*
* <li> The dash character '-'
* (<tt>'\u002d', HYPHEN-MINUS),
*
* <li> The plus character '+'
* (<tt>'\u002b', PLUS SIGN),
*
* <li> The period character '.'
* (<tt>'\u002e', FULL STOP),
*
* <li> The colon character ':'
* (<tt>'\u003a', COLON), and
*
* <li> The underscore character '_'
* (<tt>'\u005f', LOW LINE).
*
* </ul>
*
* A charset name must begin with either a letter or a digit. The empty string
* is not a legal charset name. Charset names are not case-sensitive; that is,
* case is always ignored when comparing charset names. Charset names
* generally follow the conventions documented in <a
* href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt"><i>RFC 2278: IANA Charset
* Registration Procedures</i>.
*
* <p> Every charset has a canonical name and may also have one or more
* <i>aliases. The canonical name is returned by the {@link #name() name} method
* of this class. Canonical names are, by convention, usually in upper case.
* The aliases of a charset are returned by the {@link #aliases() aliases}
* method.
*
* <p>Some charsets have an historical name that is defined for
* compatibility with previous versions of the Java platform.</a> A charset's
* historical name is either its canonical name or one of its aliases. The
* historical name is returned by the <tt>getEncoding() methods of the
* {@link java.io.InputStreamReader#getEncoding InputStreamReader} and {@link
* java.io.OutputStreamWriter#getEncoding OutputStreamWriter} classes.
*
* <p> If a charset listed in the IANA Charset
* Registry</i> is supported by an implementation of the Java platform then
* its canonical name must be the name listed in the registry. Many charsets
* are given more than one name in the registry, in which case the registry
* identifies one of the names as <i>MIME-preferred. If a charset has more
* than one registry name then its canonical name must be the MIME-preferred
* name and the other names in the registry must be valid aliases. If a
* supported charset is not listed in the IANA registry then its canonical name
* must begin with one of the strings <tt>"X-" or "x-".
*
* <p> The IANA charset registry does change over time, and so the canonical
* name and the aliases of a particular charset may also change over time. To
* ensure compatibility it is recommended that no alias ever be removed from a
* charset, and that if the canonical name of a charset is changed then its
* previous canonical name be made into an alias.
*
*
* <h2>Standard charsets
*
*
*
* <p>Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
* following standard charsets.</a> Consult the release documentation for your
* implementation to see if any other charsets are supported. The behavior
* of such optional charsets may differ between implementations.
*
* <blockquote>
* <tr>
* <tr>
* <td>Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. ISO646-US,
* a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set</td>
* <tr>
* <td>ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. ISO-LATIN-1
* <tr>
* <td>Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format
* <tr>
* <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format,
* big-endian byte order</td>
* <tr>
* <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format,
* little-endian byte order</td>
* <tr>
* <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format,
* byte order identified by an optional byte-order mark</td>
* </table>
*
* <p> The UTF-8 charset is specified by RFC 2279; the
* transformation format upon which it is based is specified in
* Amendment 2 of ISO 10646-1 and is also described in the <a
* href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html"><i>Unicode
* Standard</i>.
*
* <p> The UTF-16 charsets are specified by RFC 2781; the
* transformation formats upon which they are based are specified in
* Amendment 1 of ISO 10646-1 and are also described in the <a
* href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html"><i>Unicode
* Standard</i>.
*
* <p> The UTF-16 charsets use sixteen-bit quantities and are
* therefore sensitive to byte order. In these encodings the byte order of a
* stream may be indicated by an initial <i>byte-order mark represented by
* the Unicode character <tt>'\uFEFF'. Byte-order marks are handled
* as follows:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li> When decoding, the UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE
* charsets interpret the initial byte-order marks as a <small>ZERO-WIDTH
* NON-BREAKING SPACE</small>; when encoding, they do not write
* byte-order marks. </p>
*
* <li>
When decoding, the UTF-16 charset interprets the
* byte-order mark at the beginning of the input stream to indicate the
* byte-order of the stream but defaults to big-endian if there is no
* byte-order mark; when encoding, it uses big-endian byte order and writes
* a big-endian byte-order mark. </p>
*
* </ul>
*
* In any case, byte order marks occurring after the first element of an
* input sequence are not omitted since the same code is used to represent
* <small>ZERO-WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE.
*
* <p> Every instance of the Java virtual machine has a default charset, which
* may or may not be one of the standard charsets. The default charset is
* determined during virtual-machine startup and typically depends upon the
* locale and charset being used by the underlying operating system. </p>
*
* <p>The {@link StandardCharsets} class defines constants for each of the
* standard charsets.
*
* <h2>Terminology
*
* <p> The name of this class is taken from the terms used in
* <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt">RFC 2278.
* In that document a <i>charset is defined as the combination of
* one or more coded character sets and a character-encoding scheme.
* (This definition is confusing; some other software systems define
* <i>charset as a synonym for coded character set.)
*
* <p> A coded character set is a mapping between a set of abstract
* characters and a set of integers. US-ASCII, ISO 8859-1,
* JIS X 0201, and Unicode are examples of coded character sets.
*
* <p> Some standards have defined a character set to be simply a
* set of abstract characters without an associated assigned numbering.
* An alphabet is an example of such a character set. However, the subtle
* distinction between <i>character set and coded character set
* is rarely used in practice; the former has become a short form for the
* latter, including in the Java API specification.
*
* <p> A character-encoding scheme is a mapping between one or more
* coded character sets and a set of octet (eight-bit byte) sequences.
* UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO 2022, and EUC are examples of
* character-encoding schemes. Encoding schemes are often associated with
* a particular coded character set; UTF-8, for example, is used only to
* encode Unicode. Some schemes, however, are associated with multiple
* coded character sets; EUC, for example, can be used to encode
* characters in a variety of Asian coded character sets.
*
* <p> When a coded character set is used exclusively with a single
* character-encoding scheme then the corresponding charset is usually
* named for the coded character set; otherwise a charset is usually named
* for the encoding scheme and, possibly, the locale of the coded
* character sets that it supports. Hence <tt>US-ASCII is both the
* name of a coded character set and of the charset that encodes it, while
* <tt>EUC-JP is the name of the charset that encodes the
* JIS X 0201, JIS X 0208, and JIS X 0212
* coded character sets for the Japanese language.
*
* <p> The native character encoding of the Java programming language is
* UTF-16. A charset in the Java platform therefore defines a mapping
* between sequences of sixteen-bit UTF-16 code units (that is, sequences
* of chars) and sequences of bytes. </p>
