# getByName static method

Encoding? getByName(

1. String? name

)

Returns an Encoding for a named character set.

The names used are the IANA official names for the character set (see IANA character sets). The names are case insensitive.

If character set is not supported `null` is returned.

## Implementation

    static Encoding? getByName(String? name) {
      if (name == null) return null;
      return _nameToEncoding[name.toLowerCase()];
    }
