All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializer<String>
public class UTF8StringBytesextends Object implements Serializer<String>
String serializer using UTF-8 encoding.

Converts between String objects and UTF-8 byte arrays. Supports full Unicode character set for internationalized text.

UTF-8 encoding characteristics:

  • ASCII characters (U+0000 to U+007F) use 1 byte
  • Latin characters with diacritics (U+0080 to U+07FF) use 2 bytes
  • Most common characters including CJK (U+0800 to U+FFFF) use 3 bytes
  • Astral plane characters (U+10000 to U+10FFFF) use 4 bytes

  • Constructor Details

    • UTF8StringBytes

      public UTF8StringBytes()
      The codec holds no state - UTF-8 is named on every call - so a bare instance is ready to serialise.
