Method Detail

isSupported

@Deprecated
public static boolean isSupported(String name)

Deprecated. Please use Charset.isSupported(String) instead, although be aware that null values are not accepted by that method and an IllegalCharsetNameException may be thrown.

Returns whether the named charset is supported.

This is similar to java.nio.charset.Charset.isSupported(String) but handles more formats

Parameters:

name - the name of the requested charset; may be either a canonical name or an alias, null returns false

Returns:

true if the charset is available in the current Java virtual machine
