Method Detail

findMatchingBOM

public static byte[] findMatchingBOM(byte[] bytes)

Determines whether the specified byte array starts with a UTF Byte Order Mark and, if so, returns the matching BOM constant.

Parameters:

bytes - The byte array that is tested for the presence of a UTF Byte Order Mark.

Returns:

The Byte Order Mark found at the start of the array (one of the constants in this class) or 'null' when a Byte Order Mark could not be found.

getCharsetName

public static java.lang.String getCharsetName(byte[] byteOrderMark)

Returns the canonical charset name consistent with the specified Byte Order Mark.

Parameters:

byteOrderMark - A Unicode Byte Order Mark.

Returns:

A canonical charset name, or null when the Byte Order Mark was not recognized.
