/**
* Defines an interface for classes that are able to read big-endian typed data from some
* source. Typically, this data has been written by a class which implements
* {@link DataOutput}. Types that can be read include byte, 16-bit short, 32-bit
* int, 32-bit float, 64-bit long, 64-bit double, byte strings, and MUTF-8
* strings.
*
* MUTF-8 (Modified UTF-8) Encoding
*
* When encoding strings as UTF, implementations of {@code DataInput} and
* {@code DataOutput} use a slightly modified form of UTF-8, hereafter referred
* to as MUTF-8. This form is identical to standard UTF-8, except:
*
* - Only the one-, two-, and three-byte encodings are used.
* - Code points in the range
U+10000 …
* U+10ffff are encoded as a surrogate pair, each of which is
* represented as a three-byte encoded value.
* - The code point
U+0000 is encoded in two-byte form.
*
*
* Please refer to The Unicode Standard for
* further information about character encoding. MUTF-8 is actually closer to
* the (relatively less well-known) encoding CESU-8 than to UTF-8 per se.
