/**
* 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 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://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>
* <tr><td valign=top><tt>UTF-16BE</tt></td>
*     <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format,
*         big-endian byte&nbsp;order</td></tr>
* <tr><td valign=top><tt>UTF-16LE</tt></td>
*     <td>Sixteen-bit UCS Transformation Format,
*         little-endian byte&nbsp;order</td></tr>
* <tr><td valign=top><tt>UTF-16</tt></td>
*     <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://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://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 ignore byte-order marks; when encoding, they do not write
*   byte-order marks. </p></li>
*
*   <li><p> When decoding, the <tt>UTF-16</tt> charset interprets a byte-order
*   mark 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, when a byte-order mark is read at the beginning of a decoding
* operation it is omitted from the resulting sequence of characters.  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://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2278.txt""><i>RFC&nbsp;2278</i></a>.  In that
* document a <i>charset</i> is defined as the combination of a coded character
* set and a character-encoding scheme.
*
* <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 full Unicode, which is the same as
* ISO&nbsp;10646-1, are examples of coded character sets.
*
* <p> A <i>character-encoding scheme</i> is a mapping between a coded
* character set and a set of octet (eight-bit byte) sequences.  UTF-8, UCS-2,
* 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 character sets; EUC, for example, can be used
* to encode characters in a variety of Asian 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 character set; otherwise a charset is usually named for the encoding
* scheme and, possibly, the locale of the character sets that it supports.
* Hence <tt>US-ASCII</tt> is the name of the charset for US-ASCII 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
* character sets.
*
* <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 and sequences of bytes. </p>
