public class BOMInputStream
extends ProxyInputStream

This class is used to wrap a stream that includes an encoded ByteOrderMark as its first bytes. This class detects these bytes and, if required, can automatically skip them and return the subsequent byte as the first byte in the stream. The ByteOrderMark implementation has the following pre-defined BOMs:

• UTF-8 - ByteOrderMark.UTF_8
• UTF-16BE - ByteOrderMark.UTF_16LE
• UTF-16LE - ByteOrderMark.UTF_16BE

Example 1 - Detect and exclude a UTF-8 BOM

      BOMInputStream bomIn = new BOMInputStream(in);
      if (bomIn.hasBOM()) {
          // has a UTF-8 BOM
      }
 

Example 2 - Detect a UTF-8 BOM (but don't exclude it)

      boolean include = true;
      BOMInputStream bomIn = new BOMInputStream(in, include);
      if (bomIn.hasBOM()) {
          // has a UTF-8 BOM
      }
 

Example 3 - Detect Multiple BOMs

      BOMInputStream bomIn = new BOMInputStream(in, ByteOrderMark.UTF_16LE, ByteOrderMark.UTF_16BE);
      if (bomIn.hasBOM() == false) {
          // No BOM found
      } else if (bomIn.hasBOM(ByteOrderMark.UTF_16LE)) {
          // has a UTF-16LE BOM
      } else if (bomIn.hasBOM(ByteOrderMark.UTF_16BE)) {
          // has a UTF-16BE BOM
      }

Method Detail

hasBOM

public boolean hasBOM()
               throws IOException

Indicates whether the stream contains one of the specified BOMs.

Returns:

true if the stream has one of the specified BOMs, otherwise false if it does not

Throws:

IOException - if an error reading the first bytes of the stream occurs

hasBOM

public boolean hasBOM(ByteOrderMark bom)
               throws IOException

Indicates whether the stream contains the specified BOM.

Parameters:

bom - The BOM to check for

Returns:

true if the stream has the specified BOM, otherwise false if it does not

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the BOM is not one the stream is configured to detect

IOException - if an error reading the first bytes of the stream occurs

getBOM

public ByteOrderMark getBOM()
                     throws IOException
