In C#, Encoding.UTF32
is UTF-32 little-endian, Encoding.BigEndianUnicode
is UTF-16 big-endian, Encoding.Unicode
is UTF-16 little-endian. But I can't find any for UTF-32 big-endian.
I'm developing a simple textviewer and don't think there are many documents encoded in UTF-32 big-endian but I want to prepare for that too, just in case.
Doesn't C# support UTF32 big-endian?
BTW Java supports it.
It does support big endian on UTF-32. Just create the encoding yourself using the overloaded constructor:
Encoding e = new UTF32Encoding(true /*bigEndian*/, true /*byteOrderMark*/);
The encodings predefined as static
on Encoding
aren't an exhaustive list. You can create much and much more other encodings.
