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.

Description
NONE
If `EncodingType` is not specified, encoding-dependent information (such as `begin_offset`) will be set at `-1`.
UTF8
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
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
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.
