* Character encoding names required of every implementation of the Java platform.

* From the Java documentation Standard charsets:
*
* Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following character encodings. Consult the
* release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported. Consult the release
* documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings are supported.
*
*
*
* - {@code US-ASCII}
* Seven-bit ASCII, a.k.a. ISO646-US, a.k.a. the Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set.
* - {@code ISO-8859-1}
* ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1, a.k.a. ISO-LATIN-1.
* - {@code UTF-8}
* Eight-bit Unicode Transformation Format.
* - {@code UTF-16BE}
* Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, big-endian byte order.
* - {@code UTF-16LE}
* Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, little-endian byte order.
* - {@code UTF-16}
* Sixteen-bit Unicode Transformation Format, byte order specified by a mandatory initial byte-order mark (either order
* accepted on input, big-endian used on output.)
*
*
* This perhaps would best belong in the [lang] project. Even if a similar interface is defined in [lang], it is not
* foreseen that [codec] would be made to depend on [lang].
*
*
* This class is immutable and thread-safe.
