## Class codecs

- java.lang.Object
- - org.python.core.codecs

    public class codecs
    extends java.lang.Object

This class implements the codec registry and utility methods supporting codecs, such as those providing the standard replacement strategies ("ignore", "backslashreplace", etc.). The _codecs module relies heavily on apparatus implemented here, and therefore so does the Python `codecs` module (in `Lib/codecs.py`). It corresponds approximately to CPython's `Python/codecs.c`.

The class also contains the inner methods of the standard Unicode codecs, available for transcoding of text at the Java level. These also are exposed through the `_codecs` module. In CPython, the implementations are found in `Objects/unicodeobject.c`.

Since:
  Jython 2.0

#### decode

    public static PyObject decode(PyString v,
                                  java.lang.String encoding,
                                  java.lang.String errors)

Decode the bytes `v` using the codec registered for the `encoding`. The `encoding` defaults to the system default encoding (see `getDefaultEncoding()`). The string `errors` may name a different error handling policy (built-in or registered with `register_error(String, PyObject)`). The default error policy is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a `ValueError`. This method is exposed through the _codecs module as `_codecs.decode(PyString, PyString, PyString)`

Parameters:
  `v` - bytes to be decoded
  `encoding` - name of encoding (to look up in codec registry)
  `errors` - error policy name (e.g. "ignore", "replace")
Returns:
  Unicode string decoded from `bytes`

#### PyUnicode_DecodeUTF7Stateful

                                                                int[] consumed)

Decode (perhaps partially) a sequence of bytes representing the UTF-7 encoded form of a Unicode string and return the (Jython internal representation of) the unicode object, and amount of input consumed. The only state we preserve is our read position, i.e. how many bytes we have consumed. So if the input ends part way through a Base64 sequence the data reported as consumed is just that up to and not including the Base64 start marker ('+'). Performance will be poor (quadratic cost) on runs of Base64 data long enough to exceed the input quantum in incremental decoding. The returned Java String is a UTF-16 representation of the Unicode result, in line with Java conventions. Unicode characters above the BMP are represented as surrogate pairs.

Parameters:
  `bytes` - input represented as String (Jython PyString convention)
  `errors` - error policy name (e.g. "ignore", "replace")
  `consumed` - returns number of bytes consumed in element 0, or is null if a "final" call
Returns:
  unicode result (as UTF-16 Java String)

#### PyUnicode_DecodeUTF7

    public static java.lang.String PyUnicode_DecodeUTF7(java.lang.String bytes,
                                                        java.lang.String errors)

Decode completely a sequence of bytes representing the UTF-7 encoded form of a Unicode string and return the (Jython internal representation of) the unicode object. The retruned Java String is a UTF-16 representation of the Unicode result, in line with Java conventions. Unicode characters above the BMP are represented as surrogate pairs.

Parameters:
  `bytes` - input represented as String (Jython PyString convention)
  `errors` - error policy name (e.g. "ignore", "replace")
Returns:
  unicode result (as UTF-16 Java String)

#### PyUnicode_EncodeUTF7

    public static java.lang.String PyUnicode_EncodeUTF7(java.lang.String unicode,
                                                        boolean base64SetO,
                                                        boolean base64WhiteSpace,
                                                        java.lang.String errors)

Encode a UTF-16 Java String as UTF-7 bytes represented by the low bytes of the characters in a String. (String representation for byte data is chosen so that it may immediately become a PyString.) This method differs from the CPython equivalent (in `Object/unicodeobject.c`) which works with an array of code points that are, in a wide build, Unicode code points.

Parameters:
  `unicode` - to be encoded
  `base64SetO` - true if characters in "set O" should be translated to base64
  `base64WhiteSpace` - true if white-space characters should be translated to base64
  `errors` - error policy name (e.g. "ignore", "replace")
Returns:
  bytes representing the encoded unicode string

  `encoding` - name of encoding that encountered the error
  `toDecode` - bytes being decoded
  `start` - index of first byte it couldn't decode

#### calcNewPosition

    public static int calcNewPosition(int size,
                                      PyObject errorTuple)

Given the return from some codec error handler (invoked while encoding or decoding), which specifies a resume position, and the length of the input being encoded or decoded, check and interpret the resume position. Negative indexes in the error handler return are interpreted as "from the end". If the result would be out of bounds in the input, an `IndexError` exception is raised.

Parameters:
  `size` - of byte buffer being decoded
  `errorTuple` - returned from error handler
Returns:
  absolute resume position.
