Field Detail

### bigEndian

    protected boolean bigEndian

  Whether the stream's byte-order is big-endian.

Constructor Detail

### UTF16Decoder

    public UTF16Decoder(java.io.InputStream is)
                 throws java.io.IOException

  Creates a new UTF16Decoder. It is assumed that the byte-order mark is present.

Parameters:
  `is` - The stream to decode.

    public UTF16Decoder(java.io.InputStream is,
                        boolean be)

  Creates a new UTF16Decoder.

Parameters:
  `is` - The stream to decode.
  `be` - Whether or not the given stream's byte-order is big-endian.

Method Detail

### readChar

    public int readChar()
                 throws java.io.IOException

  Reads the next character.

  Returns:
    a character or END_OF_STREAM.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
