Class BOMInputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public class BOMInputStream
    extends ProxyInputStream
    This class is used to wrap a stream that includes an encoded ByteOrderMark as its first bytes. This class detects these bytes and, if required, can automatically skip them and return the subsequent byte as the first byte in the stream. The ByteOrderMark implementation has the following pre-defined BOMs:

    Example 1 - Detect and exclude a UTF-8 BOM

     BOMInputStream bomIn = new BOMInputStream(in);
     if (bomIn.hasBOM()) {
         // has a UTF-8 BOM
     }
     

    Example 2 - Detect a UTF-8 BOM (but don't exclude it)

     boolean include = true;
     BOMInputStream bomIn = new BOMInputStream(in, include);
     if (bomIn.hasBOM()) {
         // has a UTF-8 BOM
     }
     

    Example 3 - Detect Multiple BOMs

     BOMInputStream bomIn = new BOMInputStream(in, 
       ByteOrderMark.UTF_16LE, ByteOrderMark.UTF_16BE,
       ByteOrderMark.UTF_32LE, ByteOrderMark.UTF_32BE
       );
     if (bomIn.hasBOM() == false) {
         // No BOM found
     } else if (bomIn.hasBOM(ByteOrderMark.UTF_16LE)) {
         // has a UTF-16LE BOM
     } else if (bomIn.hasBOM(ByteOrderMark.UTF_16BE)) {
         // has a UTF-16BE BOM
     } else if (bomIn.hasBOM(ByteOrderMark.UTF_32LE)) {
         // has a UTF-32LE BOM
     } else if (bomIn.hasBOM(ByteOrderMark.UTF_32BE)) {
         // has a UTF-32BE BOM
     }

        public boolean hasBOM()
                       throws IOException
        Indicates whether the stream contains one of the specified BOMs.
        Returns:
        true if the stream has one of the specified BOMs, otherwise false if it does not
        Throws:

        Parameters:
        bom - The BOM to check for
        Returns:
        true if the stream has the specified BOM, otherwise false if it does not
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the BOM is not one the stream is configured to detect
        IOException - if an error reading the first bytes of the stream occurs
