 Here Charsets are indentified by ASCII strings. Charset alias
 resolution is provided by default in most methods. "Raw"
 versions that do not need this resolution are also provided.

Methods

 A shortcut to calling nsICharsetAlias to do alias resolution
ACString getCharsetAlias(in string charset) 
 Get some data about the given charset. This includes whether the 
 character encoding may be used for certain purposes, if it is 
 multi-byte, and the language code for it. See charsetData.properties
 for the source of this data. Some known property names:
    notForBrowser  - not to be used in the bowser.
    notForOutgoing - not to be used for exporting files.
    LangGroup      - language code for charset, e.g. 'he' and 'zh-CN'.
    isMultibyte    - is this a multi-byte charset?
 
 @param charset name of the character encoding, e.g. 'iso-8859-15'.
 @param prop property desired for the character encoding.
 @return the value of the property, for the character encoding.
AString getCharsetData(in string charset, in wstring prop) 
 Get the complete list of available charset detectors.
nsIUTF8StringEnumerator GetCharsetDetectorList() 
 Get the language group for the given charset. This is similar to 
 calling <tt>getCharsetData</tt> with the <tt>prop</tt> "LangGroup".
 
 @param charset name of the character encoding, e.g. 'iso-8859-15'.
 @return the language code for the character encoding.

  nsIAtom
  getCharsetLangGroupRaw(in string charset)


      

  

  
      

        
 Get the human-readable name for the given charset.


        


  
  AString
  getCharsetTitle(in string charset)


      

  

  
      

        
 Get the complete list of available decoders.


        


  
  nsIUTF8StringEnumerator
  getDecoderList()


      

  

  
      

        
 Get the complete list of available encoders.


        


  
  nsIUTF8StringEnumerator
  getEncoderList()


      

  

  
      

        
 Get the Unicode decoder for the given charset.
 The "Raw" version skips charset alias resolution


        


  
  nsIUnicodeDecoder
  getUnicodeDecoder(in string charset)


      

  

  
      

        

        


  
  nsIUnicodeDecoder
  getUnicodeDecoderRaw(in string charset)


      

  

  
      

        
 Get the Unicode encoder for the given charset.
 The "Raw" version skips charset alias resolution


        


  
  nsIUnicodeEncoder
  getUnicodeEncoder(in string charset)
