public class MIME2Java
extends java.lang.Object

MIME2Java is a convenience class which handles conversions between MIME charset names and Java encoding names.

The supported XML encodings are the intersection of XML-supported code sets and those supported in JDK 1.1.

MIME charset names are used on xmlEncoding parameters to methods such as `TXDocument#setEncoding` and `DTD#setEncoding`.

Java encoding names are used on encoding parameters to methods such as `TXDocument#printWithFormat` and `DTD#printExternal`.

  Parameters:
    `mimeCharsetName` - Case insensitive MIME charset name: `UTF-8, US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9, ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, Windows-31J EUC-JP, GB2312, Big5, EUC-KR, ISO-2022-KR, KOI8-R, EBCDIC-CP-US, EBCDIC-CP-CA, EBCDIC-CP-NL, EBCDIC-CP-DK, EBCDIC-CP-NO, EBCDIC-CP-FI, EBCDIC-CP-SE, EBCDIC-CP-IT, EBCDIC-CP-ES, EBCDIC-CP-GB, EBCDIC-CP-FR, EBCDIC-CP-AR1, EBCDIC-CP-HE, EBCDIC-CP-CH, EBCDIC-CP-ROECE, EBCDIC-CP-YU, EBCDIC-CP-IS and EBCDIC-CP-AR2`.
  Returns:
    Java encoding name, or null if mimeCharsetName is unknown.
  See Also:
    `reverse(java.lang.String)`

### reverse

    public static java.lang.String reverse(java.lang.String encoding)

  Convert a Java encoding name to MIME charset name. Available values of encoding are "UTF8", "8859_1", "8859_2", "8859_3", "8859_4", "8859_5", "8859_6", "8859_7", "8859_8", "8859_9", "JIS", "SJIS", "MS932", "EUCJIS", "GB2312", "BIG5", "KSC5601", "ISO2022KR", "KOI8_R", "CP037", "CP277", "CP278", "CP280", "CP284", "CP285", "CP297", "CP420", "CP424", "CP500", "CP870", "CP871" and "CP918".
  Parameters:
    `encoding` - Case insensitive Java encoding name: `UTF8, 8859_1, 8859_2, 8859_3, 8859_4, 8859_5, 8859_6, 8859_7, 8859_8, 8859_9, JIS, SJIS, MS932, EUCJIS, GB2312, BIG5, KSC5601, ISO2022KR, KOI8_R, CP037, CP277, CP278, CP280, CP284, CP285, CP297, CP420, CP424, CP500, CP870, CP871 and CP918`.
  Returns:
