Java get default Charset

We can achieve the default charset
through the java program. In our example java program we have created an object
of FileWriter and then we will be using getEncoding() method for
getting the default charset of this file writer. For windows
system it is by default set to the value Cp1252.
Here is the full example code of GetDefaultCharset.java
as follows:
GetDefaultCharset.java
import java.io.*;
public class GetDefaultCharset {
public static void main(String args[])
throws IOException {
FileWriter filewrt = new FileWriter("out");
String defaultcharset = filewrt.getEncoding();
filewrt.close();
System.out.println("Default encoding is :"+defaultcharset);
}
}
|
Output:
C:\javaexamples>javac GetDefaultCharset.java
C:\javaexamples>java GetDefaultCharset
Default encoding is : Cp1252
