All Implemented Interfaces:

public class BOMStripperInputStream
extends InputStream

The UnicodeBOMInputStream class wraps any InputStream and detects the presence of any Unicode BOM (Byte Order Mark) at its beginning, as defined by RFC 3629 - UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO 10646

The Unicode FAQ defines 5 types of BOMs:

• 00 00 FE FF  = UTF-32, big-endian

• FF FE 00 00  = UTF-32, little-endian

• FE FF        = UTF-16, big-endian

• FF FE        = UTF-16, little-endian

• EF BB BF     = UTF-8

Use the getBOM() method to know whether a BOM has been detected or not.

Use the skipBOM() method to remove the detected BOM from the wrapped InputStream object.
