      • detect

        Detection detect​(byte[] input,
                 int offset,
                 int length,
                 Hint hint)
        Detects language and encoding of the supplied byte array, possibly using a language/encoding hint.
        Parameters:
        input - the buffer that is to be inspected
        offset - the offset to detect from
        length - the size to detect from
        hint - a hint to the detector, or null for no hint
        Returns:
        an array of possible language/encoding pairs, sorted by decreasing confidence (possibly empty, but never null)
        Throws:
        DetectionException - if detection fails

      • detect

        Detection detect​(java.nio.ByteBuffer input,
                 Hint hint)
        Detects language and encoding of the supplied ByteBuffer, possibly using a language/encoding hint.
        Parameters:
        input - the buffer that is to be inspected, from its current position to its limit
        hint - a hint to the detector, or null for no hint
        Returns:
        an array of possible language/encoding pairs, sorted by decreasing confidence (possibly empty, but never null)
        Throws:
        DetectionException - if detection fails

        Parameters:
        input - the string that is to be inspected
        hint - a hint to the detector, or null for no hint
        Returns:
        an array of possible language/encoding pairs, sorted by decreasing confidence (possibly empty, but never null)
        Throws:
        DetectionException - if detection fails
