Interface Encoding

All Known Implementing Classes:
CharsetEncoding, EncodingWithBOM, Native2ASCIIEncoding

public interface Encoding
An interface to represent an encoding. An encoding is a mapping between a character stream and a byte stream. It is like java.nio.charset.Charset but has slightly different form. This can represents some extended encodings like UTF-8Y which drops (inserts) the BOM bytes before actual decoding (encoding). This also enables to add some extended encodings such as ASCII representation used by Java property files.
