Where to get “UTF-8” string literal in Java?

Question

I\'m trying to use a constant instead of a string literal in this piece of code:

new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file), \"UTF-8\")

Answer 1

In Java 1.7+, java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets defines constants for Charset including UTF_8.

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

...

StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name();
