/**
 * A named mapping between sequences of sixteen-bit Unicode <a
 * href="../../lang/Character.html#unicode">code units</a> and sequences of
 * bytes.  This class defines methods for creating decoders and encoders and
 * for retrieving the various names associated with a charset.  Instances of
 * this class are immutable.
 *
 * <p> This class also defines static methods for testing whether a particular
 * charset is supported, for locating charset instances by name, and for
 * constructing a map that contains every charset for which support is
 * available in the current Java virtual machine.  Support for new charsets can
 * be added via the service-provider interface defined in the {@link
 * java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider} class.
 *
 * <p> All of the methods defined in this class are safe for use by multiple
 * concurrent threads.
 *
 *
 * <a name="names"><a name="charenc">
 * <h4>Charset names</h4>
 *
 * <p> Charsets are named by strings composed of the following characters:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li> The uppercase letters <tt>'A'</tt> through <tt>'Z'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u0041'</tt>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<tt>'&#92;u005a'</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> The lowercase letters <tt>'a'</tt> through <tt>'z'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u0061'</tt>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<tt>'&#92;u007a'</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> The digits <tt>'0'</tt> through <tt>'9'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u0030'</tt>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<tt>'&#92;u0039'</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> The dash character <tt>'-'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u002d'</tt>,&nbsp;<small>HYPHEN-MINUS</small>),
 *
 *   <li> The plus character <tt>'+'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u002b'</tt>,&nbsp;<small>PLUS SIGN</small>),
 *
 *   <li> The period character <tt>'.'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u002e'</tt>,&nbsp;<small>FULL STOP</small>),
 *
 *   <li> The colon character <tt>':'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u003a'</tt>,&nbsp;<small>COLON</small>), and
 *
 *   <li> The underscore character <tt>'_'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u005f'</tt>,&nbsp;<small>LOW&nbsp;LINE</small>).
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * A charset name must begin with either a letter or a digit.  The empty string
 * is not a legal charset name.  Charset names are not case-sensitive; that is,
 * case is always ignored when comparing charset names.  Charset names
 * generally follow the conventions documented in <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2278:&nbsp;IANA Charset
 * Registration Procedures</i></a>.
 *
 * <p> Every charset has a <i>canonical name</i> and may also have one or more
 * <i>aliases</i>.  The canonical name is returned by the {@link #name() name} method
 * of this class.  Canonical names are, by convention, usually in upper case.
 * The aliases of a charset are returned by the {@link #aliases() aliases}
 * method.
 *
 * <a name="hn">
 *
 * <p> Some charsets have an <i>historical name</i> that is defined for
 * compatibility with previous versions of the Java platform.  A charset's
 * historical name is either its canonical name or one of its aliases.  The
 * historical name is returned by the <tt>getEncoding()</tt> methods of the
 * {@link java.io.InputStreamReader#getEncoding InputStreamReader} and {@link
 * java.io.OutputStreamWriter#getEncoding OutputStreamWriter} classes.
 *
 * <a name="iana">
 *
 * <p> If a charset listed in the <a
 * href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets"><i>IANA Charset
 * Registry</i></a> is supported by an implementation of the Java platform then
 * its canonical name must be the name listed in the registry.  Many charsets
 * are given more than one name in the registry, in which case the registry
 * identifies one of the names as <i>MIME-preferred</i>.  If a charset has more
 * than one registry name then its canonical name must be the MIME-preferred
 * name and the other names in the registry must be valid aliases.  If a
 * supported charset is not listed in the IANA registry then its canonical name
 * must begin with one of the strings <tt>"X-"</tt> or <tt>"x-"</tt>.
 *
 * <p> The IANA charset registry does change over time, and so the canonical
 * name and the aliases of a particular charset may also change over time.  To
 * ensure compatibility it is recommended that no alias ever be removed from a
 * charset, and that if the canonical name of a charset is changed then its
 * previous canonical name be made into an alias.
 *
 *
 * <h4>Standard charsets</h4>
 *
 * <p> Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
 * following standard charsets.  Consult the release documentation for your
 * implementation to see if any other charsets are supported.  The behavior
 * of such optional charsets may differ between implementations.
 *
 * <blockquote><table width="80%" summary="Description of standard charsets">
 * <tr><th><p align="left">Charset</p></th><th><p align="left">Description</p></th></tr>
 * <tr><td valign=top><tt>US-ASCII</tt></td>
 *     <td>Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. <tt>ISO646-US</tt>,
 *         a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set</td></tr>
 * <tr><td valign=top><tt>ISO-8859-1&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt></td>
 *     <td>ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. <tt>ISO-LATIN-1</tt></td></tr>
 * <tr><td valign=top><tt>UTF-8</tt></td>
 *     <td>Eight-bit UCS Transformation Format</td></tr>

 *     <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format,
 *         byte&nbsp;order identified by an optional byte-order mark</td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> The <tt>UTF-8</tt> charset is specified by <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2279.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2279</i></a>; the
 * transformation format upon which it is based is specified in
 * Amendment&nbsp;2 of ISO&nbsp;10646-1 and is also described in the <a
 * href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html"><i>Unicode
 * Standard</i></a>.
 *
 * <p> The <tt>UTF-16</tt> charsets are specified by <a
 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2781.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2781</i></a>; the
 * transformation formats upon which they are based are specified in
 * Amendment&nbsp;1 of ISO&nbsp;10646-1 and are also described in the <a
 * href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html"><i>Unicode
 * Standard</i></a>.
 *
 * <p> The <tt>UTF-16</tt> charsets use sixteen-bit quantities and are
 * therefore sensitive to byte order.  In these encodings the byte order of a
 * stream may be indicated by an initial <i>byte-order mark</i> represented by
 * the Unicode character <tt>'&#92;uFEFF'</tt>.  Byte-order marks are handled
 * as follows:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li><p> When decoding, the <tt>UTF-16BE</tt> and <tt>UTF-16LE</tt>
 *   charsets interpret the initial byte-order marks as a <small>ZERO-WIDTH
 *   NON-BREAKING SPACE</small>; when encoding, they do not write
 *   byte-order marks. </p></li>

 *
 *   <li><p> When decoding, the <tt>UTF-16</tt> charset interprets the
 *   byte-order mark at the beginning of the input stream to indicate the
 *   byte-order of the stream but defaults to big-endian if there is no
 *   byte-order mark; when encoding, it uses big-endian byte order and writes
 *   a big-endian byte-order mark. </p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * In any case, byte order marks occuring after the first element of an
 * input sequence are not omitted since the same code is used to represent
 * <small>ZERO-WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE</small>.
 *
 * <p> Every instance of the Java virtual machine has a default charset, which
 * may or may not be one of the standard charsets.  The default charset is
 * determined during virtual-machine startup and typically depends upon the
 * locale and charset being used by the underlying operating system. </p>
 *
 *
 * <h4>Terminology</h4>
 *
 * <p> The name of this class is taken from the terms used in
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt"><i>RFC&nbsp;2278</i></a>.
 * In that document a <i>charset</i> is defined as the combination of
 * one or more coded character sets and a character-encoding scheme.
 * (This definition is confusing; some other software systems define
 * <i>charset</i> as a synonym for <i>coded character set</i>.)
 *
 * <p> A <i>coded character set</i> is a mapping between a set of abstract
 * characters and a set of integers.  US-ASCII, ISO&nbsp;8859-1,
 * JIS&nbsp;X&nbsp;0201, and Unicode are examples of coded character sets.
 *
 * <p> Some standards have defined a <i>character set</i> to be simply a
 * set of abstract characters without an associated assigned numbering.
 * An alphabet is an example of such a character set.  However, the subtle
 * distinction between <i>character set</i> and <i>coded character set</i>
 * is rarely used in practice; the former has become a short form for the
 * latter, including in the Java API specification.
 *
 * <p> A <i>character-encoding scheme</i> is a mapping between one or more
 * coded character sets and a set of octet (eight-bit byte) sequences.
 * UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO&nbsp;2022, and EUC are examples of
 * character-encoding schemes.  Encoding schemes are often associated with
 * a particular coded character set; UTF-8, for example, is used only to
 * encode Unicode.  Some schemes, however, are associated with multiple
 * coded character sets; EUC, for example, can be used to encode
 * characters in a variety of Asian coded character sets.
 *
 * <p> When a coded character set is used exclusively with a single
 * character-encoding scheme then the corresponding charset is usually
 * named for the coded character set; otherwise a charset is usually named
 * for the encoding scheme and, possibly, the locale of the coded
 * character sets that it supports.  Hence <tt>US-ASCII</tt> is both the
 * name of a coded character set and of the charset that encodes it, while
 * <tt>EUC-JP</tt> is the name of the charset that encodes the
 * JIS&nbsp;X&nbsp;0201, JIS&nbsp;X&nbsp;0208, and JIS&nbsp;X&nbsp;0212
 * coded character sets for the Japanese language.
 *
 * <p> The native character encoding of the Java programming language is
 * UTF-16.  A charset in the Java platform therefore defines a mapping
 * between sequences of sixteen-bit UTF-16 code units (that is, sequences
 * of chars) and sequences of bytes. </p>
