public class Utf8 extends Object
Note: It's copied from Google Guava under Apache License 2.0 Low-level, high-performance utility methods related to the UTF-8 character encoding. UTF-8 is defined in section D92 of The Unicode Standard Core Specification, Chapter 3.

The variant of UTF-8 implemented by this class is the restricted definition of UTF-8 introduced in Unicode 3.1. One implication of this is that it rejects "non-shortest form" byte sequences, even though the JDK decoder may accept them.

Since:
16.0

  • Method Details

    • encodedLength

      public static int encodedLength(CharSequence sequence)
      Returns the number of bytes in the UTF-8-encoded form of sequence. For a string, this method is equivalent to string.getBytes(UTF_8).length, but is more efficient in both time and space.
      Parameters:
      sequence -
      Returns:
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if sequence contains ill-formed UTF-16 (unpaired surrogates)
    • isWellFormed

      public static boolean isWellFormed(byte[] bytes)
      Returns true if bytes is a well-formed UTF-8 byte sequence according to Unicode 6.0. Note that this is a stronger criterion than simply whether the bytes can be decoded. For example, some versions of the JDK decoder will accept "non-shortest form" byte sequences, but encoding never reproduces these. Such byte sequences are not considered well-formed.

      This method returns true if and only if Arrays.equals(bytes, new String(bytes, UTF_8).getBytes(UTF_8)) does, but is more efficient in both time and space.

      Parameters:
      bytes -
      Returns:
    • isWellFormed

      public static boolean isWellFormed(byte[] bytes, int off, int len)
      Returns whether the given byte array slice is a well-formed UTF-8 byte sequence, as defined by isWellFormed(byte[]). Note that this can be false even when isWellFormed(bytes) is true.
      Parameters:
      bytes - the input buffer
      off - the offset in the buffer of the first byte to read
      len - the number of bytes to read from the buffer
      Returns:
