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 shows you how to use the
Character comparison methods to check
character properties for all major languages.
In this section you'll learn how to
create locale-independent string comparisons
with the Collator class.
This section shows how to detect character, word, sentence,
and line boundaries with the
BreakIterator class.
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.
