Writing in ISO-8859-13 encoding in Java

In Java, encoding is used to specify the character set to be used when transforming characters into bytes or vice versa. ISO-8859-13 is a character encoding standard that supports the Baltic languages.

To write data using the ISO-8859-13 encoding in Java, follow these steps:

  1. Create a OutputStream object to write the data.
  2. Wrap the OutputStream with an OutputStreamWriter and specify the encoding as "ISO-8859-13".
  3. Use the write() method of the OutputStreamWriter to write the data.

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates writing a string in ISO-8859-13 encoding:

import java.io.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            String data = "This is a sample text in ISO-8859-13 encoding";
            OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
            Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream, "ISO-8859-13");
            writer.write(data);
            writer.close();
            System.out.println("Data written successfully in ISO-8859-13 encoding.");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

In the above example, we create a FileOutputStream object to write the data to a file named output.txt. We then wrap the FileOutputStream with an OutputStreamWriter, specifying the encoding as "ISO-8859-13". The write() method is used to write the string data in the desired encoding.

Make sure to handle any potential IOException that may occur while writing the data.

Remember to import the necessary classes from the java.io package.
