public Charset detect(InputStream input,

               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: EncodingDetector

Detects the character encoding of the given text document, or null if the encoding of the document can not be detected.

If the document input stream is not available, then the first argument may be null. Otherwise the detector may read bytes from the start of the stream to help in encoding detection. The given stream is guaranteed to support the mark feature and the detector is expected to mark the stream before reading any bytes from it, and to reset the stream before returning. The stream must not be closed by the detector.

The given input metadata is only read, not modified, by the detector.

Specified by:

detect in interface EncodingDetector

Parameters:

input - text document input stream, or null

metadata - input metadata for the document

Returns:

detected character encoding, or null

Throws:

IOException - if the document input stream could not be read

setMarkLimit

@Field
public void setMarkLimit(int markLimit)

How far into the stream to read for charset detection. Default is 8192.

Parameters:

markLimit -

getMarkLimit
