public interface CharsetEncoder

Method Summary

int	encode(int codepoint, byte[] target, int offset) Writes the encoding of the codepoint to the byte-array.
int	estimateByteCount(int codepoint) Return the number of bytes needed to encode the given codepoint.
int	getMaxCharLength()

Method Detail

getMaxCharLength

int getMaxCharLength()

encode

int encode(int codepoint,
           byte[] target,
           int offset)

Writes the encoding of the codepoint to the byte-array. The codepoint may be -1 to indicate an undecodable codepoint.

Parameters:

codepoint - the character to encode

target - target byte array

offset - index of first byte

Returns:

the offset for the next character

estimateByteCount

int estimateByteCount(int codepoint)

Return the number of bytes needed to encode the given codepoint. The value returned must not be an underestimation.

Parameters:

codepoint - the Unicode codepoint

Returns:

the estimated number of bytes
