| Package | Description | 
|---|---|
| java.nio.charset | Defines charsets, decoders, and encoders, for translating between bytes and
Unicode characters. | 
| Modifier and Type | Field and Description | 
|---|---|
| static CodingErrorAction | CodingErrorAction. IGNOREAction indicating that a coding error is to be handled by dropping the
 erroneous input and resuming the coding operation. | 
| static CodingErrorAction | CodingErrorAction. REPLACEAction indicating that a coding error is to be handled by dropping the
 erroneous input, appending the coder's replacement value to the output
 buffer, and resuming the coding operation. | 
| static CodingErrorAction | CodingErrorAction. REPORTAction indicating that a coding error is to be reported, either by
 returning a  CoderResultobject or by throwing aCharacterCodingException, whichever is appropriate for the method
 implementing the coding process. |
