EncodingType(value)Represents the text encoding that the caller uses to process the
output. Providing an EncodingType is recommended because the API
provides the beginning offsets for various outputs, such as tokens
and mentions, and languages that natively use different text
encodings may access offsets differently.
Values:
NONE (0):
If EncodingType is not specified, encoding-dependent
information (such as begin_offset) will be set at
-1.
UTF8 (1):
Encoding-dependent information (such as begin_offset) is
calculated based on the UTF-8 encoding of the input. C++ and
Go are examples of languages that use this encoding
natively.
UTF16 (2):
Encoding-dependent information (such as begin_offset) is
calculated based on the UTF-16 encoding of the input. Java
and JavaScript are examples of languages that use this
encoding natively.
UTF32 (3):
Encoding-dependent information (such as begin_offset) is
calculated based on the UTF-32 encoding of the input. Python
is an example of a language that uses this encoding
natively.
