java.nio.charset

Packages that use java.nio.charset
java.io Provides for system input and output through data streams, serialization and the file system. 
java.lang Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language. 
java.nio.channels Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations. 
java.nio.charset Defines charsets, decoders, and encoders, for translating between bytes and Unicode characters. 
java.nio.charset.spi Service-provider classes for the java.nio.charset package. 
javax.tools Provides interfaces for tools which can be invoked from a program, for example, compilers.
