/**
*
* Utility class to guess the encoding of a given byte array. The guess is
* unfortunately not 100% sure. Especially for 8-bit charsets. It's not possible
* to know which 8-bit charset is used. Except through statistical analysis. We
* will then infer that the charset encountered is the same as the default
* standard charset.
*
*
* On the other hand, unicode files encoded in UTF-16 (low or big endian) or
* UTF-8 files with a Byte Order Marker are easy to find. For UTF-8 files with
* no BOM, if the buffer is wide enough, it's easy to guess.
*
*
* Tested against a complicated UTF-8 file, Sun's implementation does not render
* bad UTF-8 constructs as expected by the specification. But with a buffer wide
* enough, the method guessEncoding() did behave correctly and recognized the
* UTF-8 charset.
*
*
* A byte buffer of 4KB or 8KB is sufficient to be able to guess the encoding.
*
*
* Usage:
*
*
*
* // guess the encoding
* Charset guessedCharset = CharsetToolkit.guessEncoding(file, 4096);
*
* // create a reader with the charset we've just discovered
* FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
* InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis, guessedCharset);
* BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
*
* // read the file content
* String line;
* while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
* System.out.println(line);
* }
