Working with Text
Nearly all programs with user interfaces manipulate text. In an
international market the text your programs display must conform to the
rules of languages from around the world. The Java programming language
provides a number of classes that help you handle text in a
locale-independent manner.
This section explains how to use the
Character comparison methods
to check character properties for all major languages.
In this section you'll learn how to perform locale-independent string
comparisons with the Collator class.
This section shows how the
BreakIterator class
can detect character, word, sentence, and line boundaries.
Different computer systems around the world store text in a variety of
encoding schemes. This section describes the classes that help you
convert text between Unicode and other encodings.
