## Class CharEncoding

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.lang3.CharEncoding

-     public class CharEncoding
      extends Object

  Character encoding names required of every implementation of the Java platform.

  According to JRE character encoding names:

  Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following character encodings. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CharEncoding

          public CharEncoding()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isSupported

          public static boolean isSupported(String name)

      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
