## Enum JsonEncoding

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<JsonEncoding>
  - - com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonEncoding

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<JsonEncoding>

      public enum JsonEncoding
      extends java.lang.Enum<JsonEncoding>

  Enumeration that defines legal encodings that can be used for JSON content, based on list of allowed encodings from JSON specification.

  Note: if application want to explicitly disregard Encoding limitations (to read in JSON encoded using an encoding not listed as allowed), they can use `Reader` / `Writer` instances as input

    Enum Constants
    Enum Constant and Description
    `UTF16_BE`
    `UTF16_LE`
    `UTF32_BE`
    `UTF32_LE`
    `UTF8`

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `int` | `bits()`
    `java.lang.String` | `getJavaName()` Method for accessing encoding name that JDK will support.
    `boolean` | `isBigEndian()` Whether encoding is big-endian (if encoding supports such notion).
    `static JsonEncoding` | `valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static JsonEncoding[]` | `values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

          public static final JsonEncoding UTF32_LE

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static JsonEncoding[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (JsonEncoding c : JsonEncoding.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static JsonEncoding valueOf(java.lang.String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getJavaName

          public java.lang.String getJavaName()

      Method for accessing encoding name that JDK will support.
      Returns:
        Matching encoding name that JDK will support.

    - #### isBigEndian

          public boolean isBigEndian()

      Whether encoding is big-endian (if encoding supports such notion). If no such distinction is made (as is the case for `UTF8`), return value is undefined.
      Returns:
        True for big-endian encodings; false for little-endian (or if not applicable)

    - #### bits

          public int bits()
